Hi, Ive been keeping a 55 gallon freshwater for some time now and I wish to try and start my first reef. Im slowly understanding what all I will need to start a project like this, but Im sure Ive left about 10 key things out. Ive got time and I wont be starting this very very soon, probably in a week or 2.
I have two tank options, one is a 2.5 gallon and the other is either a 10 or a 15, im waiting for my friend to let me know so I can get it from him. Which one should I use?
I havent found a place to get less than 20 pounds of live rock, if I end up using the 2.5 gallon I know I wont need that much. If yall give me a good live rock site Im sure theyd have good live sand too and Id go ahead and get that there. In the way of all the filters pumps skimmers and such, Ive read about alot of different ones so I have no idea which ones I should be looking for. WHAT do I need to get?? Lastly what kind of testing will I need to be doing to the water andwhat to get for that. And alittle help with all the abbreviations, I have no idea what half those mean.
Thanks! HELP
