Aquarium Advice Apprentice
ok this is my first salt water tank... i currently have 55 gall discus so i am pretty use to water changes and careful water paramaters. i have heard so many different opinions on filtration so i decided to come to you!!
ok ... like i said i have a 46 bow front that i got from wal-mart!! what do you recomend for filtration? i am planning to use Live Rock and hopefully once my tank is established get coral and stuff... some i have said go with hang on back filter with bio wheels (emperor series maybe a 400 or a pair of 280's) other say no get an undergravel with a skimmer and some powerheads?
how about lights? from what i have read i know i will have to change out the bulb since it is only 30 w, do i have to buy a whole new light fixture as well? or can i just buy a better bulb?
thanx
