Aquarium Advice Activist
Just wanted to start a build thread, so I could document my project and anyone could provide critiques and advice. I'm sure I need a lot. Today, my hubby decided we could convert his 27 gallon cube to salt. We ran out to buy supplies before he could change his mind. So far, we have a sand substrate, about 2 inches deep, that is a mixture of play sand and live sand. We also have a marineland maxi-jet 900 powerhead and we're running a random old freshwater filter in an attempt to help clear the water. We'll be buying a new filter, probably a canister, this weekend. Since it was the 4th of July, we couldn't go to our lfs and get our live rock or new filter. We set up what we had, just to get started. The live sand said "no cycle needed, just add fish", so we can go out and get some tangs, right? (ha, ha)
