Hi, I'm new to SW and I have some questions that I'm having trouble finding answers to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 125 gallon tank that I'm thinking about setting up as SW, I'm thinking I would like to do a FOWLR setup to start.
I'm trying to this on a budget and just wanted to get some feedback before going any further. Here are some of my questions.
1 What is the minimum lighting required? my tank is 72" long so do I need 72" of ballist/bulb? What type of bulbs NO, T5, VHO?
2 I have some what I believe to be LR that is now dead, will this grow again? Also what can I use to clean it - was in a FW tank that had troubles - all fish died is this a concern?
3 How much filtration is required for this type of setup? Can I use a canister type filter?
4 How many GPH is required for a tank this size?
I have read some books just find exactly what I am looking for. Thanks
