Here it is:
will be changing the powerhead set up to circulation mode and hope it doesnt blow the sand into a haboob! (500gph)
my light is a coral lite flourescent 18w will take pics later since I will not have it on for the first couple of weeks.
I will have a clean homemade window screen covering the top of my tank by tonight (this was set up yesterday)
I added my CaribSea live pink fiji sand at setup & the bio pack followed per pkg directions shortly thereafter
QUESTIONS:
Do I do 100% water changes at first? or just 25%? Weekly? Twice a week?
Lights on (risk algae)? or Lights off (avoid algae)? If off, do I cover to block all light?
Do I need a protein skimmer if I plan on doing weekly water changes?
Can I eventually (when cycled) fit just one lone 3" fish? (damsel, clown, dottyback OR chromis)
WILL be asking more and more questions as I think of them... or as I come up with some new dilemma :angel:
