Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hi all,
My 55gal FOWLR has Normal Output florescents (30 watts), 15lbs Fiji LR, 40lbs base rock, and a cheap skimmer rated for a 30gal tank.
Obviously I need to upgrade certain things, but $$ is tight and its a work in progress. So my questions is, what should I get first?
Should I get:
1.) 70 more lbs. of LR from LR's.com to get the natural filtration going and this will result in better quality of water.
2.) Or an Aqua C Remora Skimmer, and ditch your existing skimmer that's only rated for a 30gal tank. This will help more with the quality of water.
3.) Get the Coralife Lunar 4x65 PC Lights. You should get the PC's first, then the LR, so the LR will have the least amount of dieoff. If you get the PC's, it will get your 15lbs of LR going good, and it will further seed your Base Rock that's been in there over a year (it already has coraline on it).
Ok, so I really want the Coralife PC's (cause I think that would be the most fun), but is this the best decision?
Help! Thanks...
