Aquarium Advice Regular
im getting my 40lbs of fiji live rock this thursday or friday for my 75 gal tank and i wont be able to get my HOB emperor 400 filter until next week....
i havent filled up my tank yet...
i am planning to do that tomorrow or the next day before my live rock gets here...
my plan is to-----------
1.add the playsand (80lbs)
2.add the tap water and add the dechlorinating drops
3.add the salt mix
4.add the live sand (25lbs)
5.install the powerheads (2 aquaclear 4000)
then until thursday or friday... add the live rock
and until next week add the HOB emperor 400 filter
my questions are....
1. Would not having the filter yet be a problem?....
2. should i add some raw shrimp even if i dont have the filter yet or should i wait till next week when i get my filter to add the raw shrimp?....
3. when should i install the protein skimmer (prizm deluxe)...
4. are there any suggestions in what to do or how to deal with the live rock before i put it in the tank or after its in the tank?....
any opinions or suggestions are welcome.......
