Are there any real major advantages in using aragonite instead of PFS?
Thanks!
Thanks!

AquaRick said:Nice! How far along are you on your cycle?

AquaRick said:Sounds good. You just need a few lbs of live rock to help seed.
Obviously the more the better, but it'll all become live over time.
If you're only at 1ppm ammonia you're going to need more. A raw uncooked shrimp or two will help, or a couple more cubes of mysis.
AquaRick said:Nice! Pure ammonia is the easiest way to go. Use small amounts. A few drops goes a long way.
AquaRick said:Your lighting depends on what kind of corals (if any) you want to keep. SPS, LPS, Softies, Clams, Anenomes?
AquaRick said:With a 4 bulb T5 fixture, you can handle zoas easy. You're probably going to be ok with some types of LPS maybe higher up the rock work. Maybe a few easy SPS at the highest level of your rock. Clams aren't happening. Anemones might work at the highest part of your rock as well.
