Ok, so i set up my tank on sunday, it is a 50 gallon oceanic tank, i used instant ocean salt, tap water (i know, wish i went with RO), just added 30lb of baserock from hirocks.com, and looking to add 25lbs of keys rock from liverocks.com. I have two maxijet 1200 in each corner pointing to the middle of the front of glass. and two heaters in the back corners. Just won my BakPak 2 on ebay and should be here early next week. I added two shrimp on sunday also. My questions are.
1 - how much longer till water is clear? (i did rinse substrate and baserock, getting little clearer each day, but still cloudy)
2 - when should i add water conditioner, and which brand? And i will be using RO from now on for top offs and water changes.
3 - when should i start testing, i got the seachem multitest kit.
4 - when should i set up Quarantine Tank? i will be setting up a 10 Gallon tank with heater, and airstone and maybe a foam filter. Do you have any suggestions, Powerhead???
5 - can i just use 10 gallons from when i do a water change from my big tank and use it for qurantine tank? of course i would change 20% of that water and let it sit for a couple of days before adding fish.
6 - should i be adding anything else, or be doing anything else, is this weekend to early to add liverock.
guess that is a bigger list then i thought.
TIA
