Aquarium Advice Freak
Hi Guys,
sorry to post yet another thread, i have three quick questions,
(1)- i have 60lb of sand in my 50 gallon tank, i would say it is at least 2 inches in the shallowest part and up to 3-4 inches in some parts. Is this enough, can i add more later if need be.
(2)- if you check the pics in the links below, you will see the lights i currently have. I think that it is regular flourcent, it says 17watt aquarium lamp. Is this good enough for a FOWLR? If not can i just buy better bulbs or should i buy a compact flourecent setup? If so, how many bulbs and what sizes should it have? Can it wait until my wallet recovers? Any suggested brands. I do not plan on keeping corals for a long time.
(3)- My BakPak 2 Skimmer is coming in the mail, and i will receive 20 lbs of keys rock from liverocks.com this week, if you look at the pics of my tank, where would you suggest placing the skimmer? In the middle of the tank? Does my setup look correct so far?

and if anyone can tell me how to just post pics instead of links to pics it would be appreciated, i tried hitting Img then pasting the url of the pic the iimg again and it doesnt work.
Thanks Again,
