Hi all. I just got a 29 gallon starter kit and have some questions. The kit came with the basics ( salt, master kit, thermometer, hydrometer, lighting, 3 stage filtration.
1. Is there anything else that I should consider buying for initial set-up?
2. Is there a difference between reef sand, coral sand, and crushed coral? Which would be better? How much sand to use?
3. How much live rock is appropriate for a 29 gallon tank? Should I cure it before I put it in or cure it in the tank? If I cure it in the tank, Will that cause the tank to cycle or will I have to start the cycling process after the rock cures?
I need all the advice that I can get. Look forward to hearing from everyone.
