Hi, I'm new around here
Ive been keeping tropicals for too many years to remember Currently only have 1 tank, with Oscars and Plec's in.
Decided it was time to try something different and taste the salty side of life!
Managed to pick up a River Reef 94 VERY cheap
So, I have a few questions:
Tank is now full of RO/salted, Live sand substrate and some live rock. Filter is some foam/wool/floss stuff and a couple carbon pads in compartment 1, heater in 2, skimmer and ceramic biomass type stuff in 3 and pumps in 4. Im thinking of changing 2 to live rock rubble,
Do i just fill the compartment with the rubble? (obviously after moving the heater!).
Do i need the wool/floss and carbon in 1?
Should i remove the biomass/ceramics? nitrate factory?
Do i need Rowaphos? Seems everyone is using it!
Thanks in advance!
Dave
