Aquarium Advice Activist
hi there i am currently in the process of starting up my 90 gallon tank. so far i have purchased 120 lb of florida crushed coral, a fluval 404 canister filter, a 300 watt heater, a 200 gal mix of oceanic sea salt, and a 50/50 flouresncent bulb and also a 10000K fl bulb. i also have an aquaclear 500 that i could use and i have a rio 600 too.
my questions are these: when i purchase the LR, do i need to buy ALL LR or could i buy some LR and some dead rock? to eventually convert over. not sure if it works like this, and how much do i buy?
and also with just a regular flourescent fixture and the 2 bulbs that i have what kinds of fish/anenomes can i house. i know that i really depends on what i like, but i was just looking for a few suggestions as to what experienced hobbyists have done.
what should my next step be? i bought an ro/di unit off ebay, so i will probably rinse the crushed coral and add that and then mix the salt with the filtered water in the tank, and then get the filter going ( canister and hang on? ) and then put the lr in. just looking for suggestions as to whether or not i am heading in the right direction.
Thanks so much
