Hello again. I was doing a little research on the size tank that I own and had a few ?'s. The tank at the moment is running with a 280 marineland filter w/ biowheel, and heater holding a steady 78 degree temp and an airstone. The bottom only has cc at the moment. I measured my tank I came up with 30x22x12. I think that comes out to 37 gallons. Am I running the right equipment for this size tank. Will go out after the holidays to add a skimmer(still reading up on them) and I am looking at picking up some live rock in the next week or so.(and will most likely cure in the tank). Am I on the right path here? Also saw something about adding a shrimp(like the ones you would buy for dinner?) to the tank to help with the cycle. Is this done before, during or after the addition of the live rock for the curing process? Sorry I am all over with this. Sometimes I seam to read to much and then second guess myself after the 12th time I have 2nd guessed myself. lol... Well any input would be helpful. I want to make sure I do this right since I plan on having this tank for a long time(unless I want to upgrade to a bigger tank some day.) Thanks!
