Hello everyone! I am thinking on starting a nano reef tank. I do have some experience with freshwater tanks. I intend to have one candy cane coral, two or three scarlet hermits and two or three nassarius snails as a start, not sure about fish yet, maybe one clownfish and his anemone. I will buy the Fluvial SEA EVO Saltwater 13 gallon kit.
I did the research but I found some conflicting info. Some sites say to change 10% of water every two weeks, others say make daily water changes and some even told to change every three months. As for the plankton, I saw that copepods need to be fed with phytoplankton, but it seems that phytoplankton do not need specific feeding.
I'd like your advise concerning these water changes. How often? And how much water per change? I am also not sure if I need to add copepods to the tank, if so, how do I feed the phytoplankton for the copepods to eat? Thank you in advance!
