Hello All,
Brand new to the hobby and starting my first tank. I have been rummaging through a metric ton of information online over the past few months and took the dive last week. I went with an IM Fusion Pro 2 50gal AIO for my first setup. My tank has been cycling for about a week now and things seem to be going ok. Have a couple of questions I am trying to get ahead of the game on:
1. How/what to configure the filtration chamber caddies with? I just have it set with the default small bag of carbon, gfo, and the cotton filter balls at the top. Was curious if there are some preferred configurations for a beginner tank?
2. Flow - In regards to flow, I have 1 vortech mp 10 set up, should I pick up a second head, watching BRS's video they recommended having one on each end of the tank pointing toward one another creating some turbulence. Is it preferred to run 2?
3. Should I be doing water changes while the tank is cycling? If so, should they be smaller changes 10% or less?
Any other tips for a fresh reefer are always welcome!
Thank you,
