Some hitchhickers r good once I got a frag in there tiny but still a frag

I have found only aiptasia as bad hitchhikers on my rock. You are more likely to get bad hitchhikers from the store like crabs, and mantis shrimp.

Cool! Is there anything im missing?

 

[Gboy66]

Ok, i would totally do this, but im having a hard time convincing the parents. The place im thinkong of is in between the fridge and the oven, like a countertop in between. And in front of it across the kitchen it a window. The blings are usually closed on it though. Would this spot work?

also remember u gotta pay close attention to the water parameters and if later on u decide to add mor live rock do it slowly or it might cause a mini cycle

Do you have a picture of the spot? You probably don't want it too close to the oven. If the blinds are barely open I would say that, that isn't an issue.

Heres the spot. And it never recieved direct sun so thats good. And a couple more questions, is my king-225 powerhead good enough? And could i use just a standard 10 gallon aqueon filter? Should i replace the filter cartridge before cycling my sw tank?

 

[Gboy66]

Also, do i need a protein skimmer of any kind for such a small tank? And are tere any corals that can grow in really low lighting?

 

[abrahamavelar]

protein skimmers are used if u have coral but for just a fowlr u dont need one

Could any coral grow in low light?

 

[abrahamavelar]

[Gboy66]

Thats ok, and do you have any answers to my above questions? About the powerhead and filter and filter cartridge?

 

[abrahamavelar]

like atleast not with the standard aquarium lights

 

[abrahamavelar]

to tell u the truth i dont know but ill check it out????

 

[carey]

You can use a regular filter, though I would go for a larger one for a sw tank. The powerhead should be ok, just have it on the side that the filter output isn't.

Any suggestions on a cheap larger filter? My power head gives alot of flow, are you sure its okay?

The bubbles on the powerhead, or filter?

Of the powerhead?
