I have a 30 gallon tank, hoping to become a FOWLR tank in a few months.
I'm planning on having 10 pounds of live rock, and 20 pounds dry. Will the live rock make the dry rock live? How long? And do I have to wait for all of it to beome live before I add fish?
And I need 30 pounds of sand, right?
Here's my stocking list that I plan on:
2 firefish
1 clownfish
1 watchman goby and pistol shrimp (hopefully my LFS has a pair!)
1 orange stripe prawn goby OR 1 clown goby (not sure which yet)
Anyways, what powerheads do you recommend? My LFS doesn't sell powerheads, so I have to order online. Here is what powerheads I was thinking but I don't know what one I should choose:
Wave Maker Powerhead Aquarium Pump Reef 800 GPH 3000L/H Circulation Marine Tank | eBay
Oceanic Biocube Nano Circulation Aquarium Pump 250 GPH Powerhead - Bio Cube | eBay
I know this one^ is for a Biocube but will it still work?
Now for protein skimmers, what do you think would work?
Do I need a RO/DI unit? Could I use tap water then condition it?
Sorry for all the questions! Thank you so much!
