:?
I have a 35HEX tank, I am currently setting up as my first saltwater tank. I have 20 lbs of live sand, I am going to add 10 lbs of live rock, as well as a Filstar XP3, with a BIO-Wheel pro for wet/dry filtration.
does this setup sound ok? I also have a Seaclone100 Protein skimmer to setup, but I was wondering a couple things.
1) the Filstar, comes with 2 different sizes of microfibre filtration, as well as a carbon pouch, is this the correct type of filter media? or should I add something else? this seems fine for a FW setup, but for a Saltwater setup?
2) after adding the live Rock, should I add the protein skimmer? I was going to wait a month, but reading some responses here....
thanks for the help....
