Hello Everyone,
I am setting up a 45G Reef Tank, I have been reading & watching videos how to get started but I ended having more questions then answers.
I've purchased a Fluval 45G bow tank, it comes with ,I only changed the filter to 70G canister filter.
It was only 400(Canadian$) for the everything above which was pretty good deal.
I will be buying a Power head or two with a RO DI unit in the coming weeks, since I don't plan starting in a month or so. Probably will buy a skimmer after couple of months
These are the questions I have for starting :
-When choosing Rocks (i know it controversial sub): Does it matter if i get dry or live rock ?
What would you recommend for someone who's getting into reef tank.
* I hear pro's & con's for both have mixed feeling but dry rock is apparently cheaper but take time to "bloom".
*If i choose dry rock, do i have to put some type of bio product ( I plan on using live sand regardless of the type of rock.)
*If i buy either of theme from a store , do I have to Cure theme ?
-When i start my Cycle , do i have to put the filter in ?
-At the end of the cycle : How many cleaners should i introduce @ start ?
*I plan on getting pair of clowns, should i introduce theme same time as the cleaners ?
Thank you in advance !
