new reefer here, anyone with a redsea that can shed some light- I have searched the forums, and watched some BRS videos
filled my RS 170E 45gal last night with RODI, after sand and SW. I have a reefwave 25 on low, and turned on my skimmer (just to see how it all works). I put the filter sponge where directed.
I am now awaiting for the water to clear up, its been about 12hrs.
My questions:
Do i need any other filtration this early on to help clear up my water? - ie floss, filter sock? I know carbon is for organics so planning on holding off.
Do i need to worry about the sand swirling around and clogging my skimmer, re circulation pumps - i plan on rinsing my reefwave after water pristine.
Anyother reocmmendations for 170 first time install appreciated.
