Aquarium Advice Regular
I have just started a fowlr tank and am excited about finally getting it going. I have been sucessful with FW tanks of various sizes for years but always wanted a SW tank. I am starting with a 10 gal just to get my feet wet. I know that is not recommended but I am working on a budget and do not want to screw up a 55 gal due to cost. I have a 55 gal I will be moving into if all goes well. But as of now I have a 10 gal with a skilter 250, 1 inch bed of CC Sand mix, and about 10 pounds of rock that has been filled with the water for about 2 weeks. last night I went and got 2.5 pounds live rock and 1 pound live sand from LFS set up. I put in 2 damsels to get the cycle going. I have been researching SW for about a year but still have questions. I have great circulation in the tank, Do I still need a powerhead? And I also still have lighting questions. What lighting do I need to get a good coralline algae growth on my rock? Will the 2.5 pounds of live rock revive my dead rock? thnx for any help
