Hi guys,
Lemme just say i've been lurking for almost half a year now at the forums...
Today is the day that i went to the LFS and bought myself a 15 gallon.
Yes i know it's small for sw but i'm first gonna try this nano reef as i'm still working on my attic ... when the attic is ready ---> big tank coming up
So.. i bought a 15 gallon, all the necessary sand, salt,light, etc... and a RO unit!
I still have to do some plumbing but in the meanwhile while i was in the basement i saw that we had copper plumbing.. now this may sound like a stupid question to you guys but isn't this copper thingie harmfull?
Or will the RO unit take care of this?
Also, how long should i let this RO unit run for the first time before actually using water from the unit?
After this is all done, i'll probably just fill the tank with the water, check on all the water perimeters and then gonna put a coctail shrimp in it
The overall cycling process will probably be around 4 weeks... after the first 10 days i think i'll add some LR.
Is this a good way to handle it? suggestions and tips are most welcome!
New questions will probably rise while i'm working on this little project so.. guys... beware
