I just received a 60-65 gallon hex tank with a stand, wet/dry filter, prtoien skimmer, pumps and heaters all for FREE
Now i don't know what to do??? looking for some advise.
The only thing I have worked out so far is i need the substrate to be 6" this way i can reach the bottom. Im going to use crushed coral considering i have tons of it when i over purchased for my cichlid tanks.
So here are my questions.
1. can I seed my tank with some crushed coral from my cichlid tank?
2. I suppose i will get some rock from the lfs do i have to buy live rock? I am not planning on corals at this time.
3. As far a stocking I have to get some clown fish my 6yr old insists. what else do you recommend? And do i have to get a anemone? If so then would i need live rock and special lighting?
I'm not afraid to spend some money with this but I do want to keep it to a minimum.
Thanks
