Aquarium Advice Freak
I am going to be getting a 55gal tank soon from a family member.
I would like ot make it a salt walter aquarium.
I know that i would like the aquarium to be fish coral and invertebrates.
I also know that i will be limited to the type of fish i may keep and thats fine.
I do not have the room for a sump system so im pretty much stuck with a wet/dry system unless you have any other options that will work well.
With the wet dry system do i need any other filters such as a biowheel?
From my reading on the forum ive decided to go with a corallife skimmer
and im probably going to get 2 x 250gph power heads or higher if recommended
the lighting i can find out from another article within this forum im sure
My main question is ive heard that LS and LR carry worms that can kill fish. Is this true and if so is it possible to create LS and LR by adding the bacteria yourself or some other additive to dry sand and rock????
How can i make this system work and be sure its safe is what im asking i guess???
I just want my system to be successful. I dont want to rush things and screw it up.
I appologize if this is repeating another article somewhere but i just had to ask lol.
Thanks for your help i will greatly appriciate it and i hope to enjoy what everyone else on this forum does
