Aquarium Advice Newbie
I'm helping a friend of mine start up a small SW tank. Tank is a normal 30 gallon tank and he just wants fish, no coral or anything too hard to keep. I'm experianced with freshwater fish/plants, but never have touched on saltwater. Just have a couple questions and comments on some of my ideas.
1.With filtration, i've been reading about using LR and good current just for the filtration. So I dont have to put any kinds of canister filter or anything?
2. With lighting, how much is required with just fish and then with live rock?
3. What are some good fish for a first timer in saltwater?
4. Is tapwater sufficient, and if so is it good to let it age for a couple hours or days before using it?
5. Lastly, what kind of foods are good to use?
