Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I know alot of these questions will be simple to answer, and make myself look quite dumb, but bear with me, I have done alot of reading and there is alot of opinons out there that differ alot. Anyways I have everything ready to go except my live rock, so my first question is when rinsing the sand, I can use regular tap water right? I do not have to purify it yet for rinsing the sand? Also when making my saltwater mix, is it really bad to use tap water? I live in BC canada so our water quality is very good, so can I just use it with some water declorination? I have some stuff called aqua plus for chlorine and chloramine, then add my salt for my saltwater mixture? To make myself look extra dumb I thought I had a 20 gallon tank, turns out its a 10 gallon tank and I have already bought all my stuff for saltwater, I have read its gonna be problems, I have also read it won't be too bad if you keep a vigilant watch on the water quality, any opinons? I would really hate to waste all this money, and I really wanna get into saltwater to test it out before investing in a large tank, any opinions on what to stock it with?. Thanks in advance
