Hello everyone out there. I am a new member to this site and I decided to put it to some use. Im starting my first reef tank and im very excited. I was given a 75 gallon aquarium with stand.
Well I have a couple questions...but first let me stress to you that I have been reading for years about this hobby, I work at a fish store so I deal with the fish all the time, I take care of other peoples fish tanks while there away so im not new to this. Its just a couple tenical questions that I have.
Since it is hard for me to get the tank drilled and have a overflow put in and put a trickle filter in the stand (which is what I want) is it ok to go with a canister filter? Thats a huge question that I dont know the awnser to.
As of this point I was looking at any medications the people who owned the tank had put in...as far as I know they seem to be nothin to "harsh" thats stays a residue on the glass. It was just some ich cure, algea away, and some declorinator/fish helper. So I dont think none of those will have any effect on the fish as long as I scrub it down with boiling water, then a vinger water solution. I should be ok right?
Well as of this point I have no other questions but I will keep posted of anymore I have. So thanks a million in advance and happy fish keeping
