So I've been running my 180 L tank with about 20 KG of LR for the past 2 weeks. The setup is a protein skimmer inside the sump, 2 power heads, ceramic, and live sand bed (photo attached)
The water was half from the LFS and half tap water.(tap water in Dubai is phosphate free).
I have a few clarifications, is the brown green stuff what is called a diatom bloom? It's all over the tank and most concentrated on the sand bed...
There are different opinions on what to put in first, cuc or fish. I still don't have any livestock in there so what should I start with?
If cuc, I know what I want, but what about fish? Can I fit tangs in this tank? Do they outgrow it?what would be the ideal combination?
Micro bubbles... Any ideas on how to get rid of them?
I am thinking of starting slowly, with a couple of clowns, then introduce a tang and a dotted puffer....
Ideas, thoughts, suggestions please....
