Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi, I just started cycling my first saltwater tank and have a few questions.
-Can I use sand from the beach? (I have some crushed coral now but I kind of want sand because I think it looks better)
-What are some relatively easy corals to keep, and could I realistically expect to keep them alive as a novice, and what additional equipment would I need?
-Can someone please post a piture of a seaclone protein skimmer setup? I have one but dont know how to hook it up (came with the tank I got at a garage sale). Im pretty mechanically able but without an understanding of what it is supposed to do I cant make it do it.
-What testing equipment do I need vs. what would be fine to just take samples in to the pet store to have done?
-Are there any must have water treaments I should keep on hand?
-What exactly is liverock?
-Any tips to help with general setup/maintanance? Ive done freshwater with good luck but this seems a bit more complicated.
Thanks in advance,
Josh
