I have a 36 gal tank, about 40lbs of live rock, about 3" of sand, and an emperor 280 hob filter.
I have had it running about 5 weeks with 3 damsels in there about 4 weeks, and the live rock in there a couple of days. My tests all seem to be good.
I am a complete newbee at this and would like to know if i should invest in a canister filter (instead of hob) and a skimmer. Also I would like to eventually get some corals in there, so i will probably need a couple ph.
Any recommendations for a canister filter, ph, and skimmer? Like I said I'm a newbee, i dont know how big of a powerhead i need or how many i should get. As for the protein skimmer, I am currently eyeing the SeaClone, as thats the one they commonly use at my lfs.
Also, is there any way to get rid of those tiny bubbles floating arround tank? Are they a result of my hob filter?
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
