Aquarium Advice Activist
I am going to start a 55 gal. FO tank soon and I was wondering if I have to use live rock to successfully maintain my aquarium. I would rather not use it because of the article I read at :
www.brooklynaquariumsociety.org/Articles/2002-march pg 6.htm
If it is possible to keep a healthy aquarium with little or no live rock, what would I need to accomplish this? Would a:
1) Magnum 350 pro system w/ biowheel
2) Prizm skimmer
3) A supplimental bio filter if needed
be good filtration methods?
Any recommendations would help!
PS: If I have to use live rock, is it ok to add little amounts at a time as long as it was cured well at the LFS, or will this just mess everything up?
