Re: Starter advice - help!

Hi and welcome to the forum :) I echo what VikingMummy2015 had said. Get the largest aquarium that is in your budget range, the bigger the aquarium the more options available.

Re: Stephen's new 425L SeaBray Elite tank log

You can do.
Pre-mix it with tank water before adding back to the tank.

I would do a water change to replenish the KH and then top up the ammonia to 2ppm.
