Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello all...just got started on this site. Ive read some of the other posts to help in buying equipment to start up a 55 gal reef. I had a freshwater tank for 4 years but reef are mcuh cooler!
Ive bought most of the equipment, ie lighting, filter, protein pump etc...and am starting to look at the LR.
Question: I know the conversion is something like 1.3-1.7lbs LR/gal....so for my 55 id need about 75 lbs of LR. Should i buy 75 lbs of straight LR or should i buy like 30 lbs of the baserock and 45 lbs of LR???
I soo confused and assume that its 75lbs LR....just worried about the dead spots i keep reading about.
Anyone have good success with any distributors of LR from out east?? (Im in Agawam MA home of Six Flags New England ) It seems like all of the sites i found online are out west haha
I appreciate any comments and help!
