Thanks and yes the space has gone away VERY fast, will have some more room once i can stop moving supplies from one corner to the next as i build but that is part of it.
1. do i need to rinse live sand?
2. using REELREEF live rock so there will be a cycle but i am anticipating 3-4 weeks as i also plan to use turbostart900
3. oh i have already thought that the 55 QT might have been too large and might have to swap for a couple smaller ones...jury is still out on this but i do agree
thanks for the input and keep it coming snd i will check out your tank build...
I used Caribsea Flamingo Reef and it was “dry”. I put “dry” in quotes because it was still was pretty moist. I used live sand on my first tank and while it did cloud up, it did clear up in a day or so. I think you’ll be fine not rinsing live sand, but I don’t recall what others my recommend.
You should be good with the Reef rock. The pukani I got had a bunch of dead organics on it still, so took a while to cure.
The 55 might be a bit much, but maybe fine as a holding tank after treating fish with meds prior to putting in DT. Right now I have two 10 gal and one 29 gal tanks running. Doesn’t seem too bad so far. I got them all used from my LFS for dirt cheap.
