Cool, in that case I'll make sure my tank is fully cycled then add a pair of occelaris clowns and a small hippo tang.
How many fish can be added at first?
I'll just buy 45lbs of LR from live aquaria which costs $90 plus $1.39 a pound for shipping so it ends up being like $112. Then I'll just buy 40 lbs...
The base rock doesn't have to be live before I add fish or corals does it?
I think I'll probably do 30lbs LR and 40 base. It shouldn't take too long for the base to become live should it?
Out of about 70lbs of rock how much of it should be live?
I plan to cure my rock in my tank while it is cycling. That's OK right?
Well I don't want to get clowns for my first fish because down the road i would like to add a pair of maroons and they would kill the occellaris. So...
I'm going to be ordering live rock soon for my 55gal tank. I found some at liveaquaria and it's pretty cheap. Saltwater Live Rock for Marine...
Hehe sorry about the Goby. Ya, the reason I'm trying to determine my first fish already is so I can do plenty of research on it.
Ya since they are aggressive I'll probably wait to add them. I'll most likely get a pair of occelaries for my first fish. Also is a yellow tang too...
Good point maybe I could add them later down the road?
Alright guys I will soon be setting up my 55gal reef tank and letting it cycle. I'm trying to think ahead right now and decide what my first fish...
Another question about sumps. Do i have to use pvc pipe for my plumbing, or is there an alternative?
Thank you very much for the info sostoudt. Could I just add sand to the refuguim so i could grow more than just cheato?
The only thing is I'm still not exactly sure all the supplies needed to make a sump/refugium or even how to do it....hopefully I can find some...
I just found out we have a 28g tank up in our attic! I could use this as my refugium I just need to find a stand with enough room in the bottom to...
The tank I'm going to use doesn't have an overflow. In order to have a fuge I need an overflow correct?
Alright I think I'll do that, thanks.
OK, do the t5s I'm looking at give off the blueish tint that I always see?
