I grabbed the manual from the top of the first page and started reading through many of the posts in this thread. Now I have some confusion.
I have an "established 75g tank" . 5 fish, crabs, snails, 2 corals (colony polyp and a green candy cane). About 130 lbs of live rock, heavy coraline on it.
My lighting is an 8 bulb t-5 unit with 4 actinic and 4 15k. The refugium is a 10g aquarium with a Reef Octopus 150. Can't remember the return pump. Does about 350g/hr
Questions.
1)Do I just send in the test and go from there?
2)It says to use hardy corals to start with. What would be some suggestions?
3)Could I use a grow light and clip on holder in the refugium?
4)Which algae to use? Do I put sand in the bottom? It says in the manual to use varied algae and live rock, no substrate.
5)Why is there no tried and true rule of thumb?
