He had a good balance of both at all times. He usually bought his water at our local fish store. He made his own at times. He did water changes every two weeks. I did all the water testing with his kits. It was that darn PH that he could never keep steady for some reason. For the last 6 months, he only had live rock and other colorful items in it. It was beautiful! Then, each one started dying slowly.
