hi im satrting a 50 gallon fowlr with a 30 gal sump. i am upgrading from my running 30 gallon fowlr. the 50 gal will have a 3in sand bed
1 someone told me to put foam under my tank.. what will this do??
2 i got mixed answers on putting rock in first,or putting sand in first..
3 i have a reef octopuss skimmer with the needle wheel,what depth should it be sitting lfs said from 6-9 in
4 why do some people put egg crate under there rocks??should i??
5 if i add a 2nd u tube to my overflow box will it give me more gallons per hour?? cause the 750 gph pump is beating it a little.or should i just add a ball vaulve to the return line?
6 im using dry sand,and about 30-50 lbs live rock to start, after the cycle will the sand be live??
7 my sump as of now is setup like this... 3 sections, 1 is intake with skimmer,2 is fuge,3 is return. is it better to have the skimmer in first,or at the last part??
8 after the tank is well cycled,how do i go about transfering my fish?? lfs said all at once and fast. what do you think?
thank you for looking. and eny info on setting up this tank you can give me would be great.
