Hello guys... So I just recently quit drinking and smoking and have alot of time on my hands... I decided I wanted to dive into the coral world... I already have a few in my 72 gallon display tank, but my turbo snails keep knocking them over. I wanted to make this tank as cheap as possible with most of the stuff I have lying around.
Not very sure If this will all work out, but I have alot of time on my hands now. I finished putting the tank together to cycle on sunday. So its been cycling for 2 days with some live rock and some bio-cylinders I took from my display sump and some dry rock that I was given a year ago from a local reefer. Just checked my water parameters and things look on track so far.
Im pretty sure people are going to give me a hard time with the power filter Im using as well. I had a 300$ budget for lights and an ATO... I purchased the Tunze nano ATO and also purchased a sbreef sbox pro 16” LED thats on the way. I guess Im just looking for your guys’ input. I think I screwed up though. I put all the rock in the tank to cycle it, but I really want the tank to have no rock. Just the Carabsea Hawaiin Black Aragonite and egg crate to put the corals.
Did I do something stupid? Im also running the skimmer... Ive heard mixed things on that as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im eventually going to plumb this to my display which is directly behind in our living room. Just dont have the knowledge of plumbing and dont feel like pulling the washer and dryer out and start drilling holes in the wall yet.
