Reefing newb
So I'm pretty sure I'll be starting up my system tomorrow afternoon.. I'll be taking my boat out and pumping up 80 gallons of fresh ocean water from 3 miles out in the gulf stream.. I'll stop at my LFS and grab 15 lbs of live rock rubble and a clump of algae for my refugium and 30 lbs of sand for a 1 inch sand bed.. I'm also going to buy a few lbs of nice live rock for my display tank.. I'm running a 55 gallon main tank with a 20 gallon sump refugium.. I'll be running my lights on a 8 hour schedule and then my refugium light at night.. I have 2 koralia 750's and I'll run both of them while the DT lights are on and run only one at night when the lights are off.. After a week or so I'll buy a bunch of crabs and snails.. I'll also go out to the reef and catch a coral bandit shrimp to throw in there.. I would also like to add a clown fish and an anemone after a week.. Anything you guys would do differently or add in?? This is my first time starting a salt water system and I don't want to mess anything up!!
