Aquarium Advice Activist
Hi all let me intro myself here. As the subject reveals I am just starting out. I am quite happy I stumbled on to this discussion board, I see already how helpful and courteous everyone seems to be and it certainly makes for a great board. The other discussion board that I used to frequent is a board dedicated to sport motorcycles and let me tell you things can get ugly when some bad elements do not contribute anything posisitve.
Anyhow just purchased a 55 gal corner tank with overflow (which is all we can fit in our tiny house). I also purchased,on line, a wet dry filter system with protein skimmer (Aquaclear Aquatics Pro75).
Next Purchases :
Pump, Rio 2100 for my pump
Lighting , Coralife dual compact 65 watt complete system.
Reef, Fiji live rock min 50 pounds ( considering buying it online)
Substrate. Coarse crushed coral ( `3-5 mmgrain size)
Water. Plan to by the pretreated water from my LFS.
Please give me any advice , constuctive criticism etc that I need to know in order to get my tank started. I read that the coral may have a high ammonia content .
Thanks in advance
