Hi guys,
I am in the middle of setting up my first saltwater tank. Been doing tons of reading to learn as much as I can. Just wanted to show where I'm at and see what yall think. I used a RODI water system and then mix 5 gallons of the water with salt overnight at a time. So took a couple days to get here. But I have 50 lbs of Aqua Natural Oolitic Aragonite sand, 40 lbs of Caribsea Life Rock, and now just letting the water and filter do its thing. I plan on letting it just sit and run for about 3-4 weeks, then start with 2 clownfish and maybe couple frags or something to start with. That's assuming my water is cycled by then.
I do have a question though. As you can see in the pics I have a 4 inch stone for the tank, unsure how much bubbles is good and are big or small bubbles better. This one has tons of small bubbles. Not sure if there should be more, less, bigger, etc. Thanks!
