Hello all and thanks in advance for the advice.
I have just set up a 150gl tank on 9.14.01. As of today I have filled it and added my salt, no substrate or base yet. I am running a new Fluval FX5 for filtration and my lights are crap( will be going with MH).
I am going for a Full Reef Tank with Fish, Soft Corals, Live Rock and no anenomies(sp?).
I am not in a huge hurry to cycle but I do want the correct sand to begin with. I am leaning toward Ocean Direct Carribean Live Sand but have read that maybe that is not the way to go?
Also with this size of tank, should I go with dead base rock or low end live rock for base? I will be hand picking my LR that will be visable.
Well hopefully I have given you enough info to help.
Thanks again and safe reefing,
Jeremy
