Im setting up a 29 gal tank right now, my first marine tank. I already have the salt water in, 40 lbs of dry sand, about 25 lbs of dry rock and 5 lbs of live rock. Ive read up plenty on cycling my tank, so im going to wait about a month and check on the water every week or so.
Any tips on what sort of inverts to get when im ready? or how many? ive heard about 1 per lb of live rock, is that about right? Im also waiting to get a protein skimmer until the tank is cycled, is that ok or do i need one now? Also, im using a pretty average filter right now (its a topfin that came with the aquarium...) is it worth investing in a better one?
Any suggestions would be awesome, i appreciate all the help i can get! Thanks
