I purchased a new 36g tank with the intention of upgrading my FW. Well my husband talked me into setting up a SW. So here I am, a week later going through a cycle, with a little bit of LR, and A Livesandbed. I have bubbles, standard filter/lights, and a power head I haven't yet set up. All I'm seeing right now is $$$$!!!! I'm starting to feel defeated and unsure. I've been shopping around and wandering into lfs and every one of them gives me different answers! I feel like they're all trying to sell me w/e.
so... Here's my questions...
Do I need a protein skimmer? If so what kind/brand?
Do I need to upgrade my Fluro lights? If so what kinds/brands?
Do I need to upgrade my filter? If so...??
Will putting in a clean up crew speed up/help my cycle?
Do I need a refugium? (I've only just touched on them! I don't even really understand what they are?)
I've looked through the forums, and found some helpful info! And I'm sure these questions have been answered before so I'm sorry in advance! I'm just loosing faith!
