13.5 sounds good. Any idea what fish you want?Just read it, quality information ! Actually a great article.
Does give some outlook for me and what to do in the future.
Thinking of maybe going with a 13.5 gallon? think it was... All in one system the fluval evo? anyone know if that's a good "kit" really don't want to go over the 10 gallon limit so 13g is a big step.
would be going for a pair of clowns. Max.13.5 sounds good. Any idea what fish you want?
You dont have to buy everything at once, but buy the tank and the heater first so you can cycle it before you get everything else.would be going for a pair of clowns. Max.
More interested in the corals and how the function, this would be for studying mostly. Studying how corals work, etc, and testing my limits over time to see which ones I can grow.
But first I have to save up a few more bucks to buy all this at once.. All this being the/a protein skimmer and the setup.
My apologies , I wasn't meaning livestock included. I don't agree with fish in cycles...You dont have to buy everything at once, but buy the tank and the heater first so you can cycle it before you get everything else.
Yea inert I mean PFS or BSDBS (not an option though), or just Petco sand. No nutrients in it.By inert sand do you mean not "live" or pool filter sand or?
This is neat, I will have to do more research into this...Also the alkalinity in your well may not be desirable, for instance boron contributes to alkalinity but that's not what corals use to grow. Again you will be adding this as evaporation top off and the problem could become worse over time.
That's my #2 plan if the well water is Not suitable at all.On a small tank like this you could easily get away with buying distilled water until you get tired of lugging water from the store.
Thanks, will look at thatRed Sea has a nice Marine Care multi test kit, that would be a nice alternative to the API.
Yep, as in the aquascaping hobby, you and I both know we have a long plan before we take action.Before you add corals, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium tests
Thank you, you to!Happy reefing!
Why replace? the corals of course would be low to medium light (because I'm scared of killing the high lights, plus from what I see the majority of low lights are easier) but with an apogee PAR meter (modified) I get about 175 PAR at the substrate, and its max is 200 PAR. Suitable?I would keep it tuned more blue, and plan to replace it before adding corals.
