Well were should i begin....I am no newbie to freshwater...But i am a newbie to SW.
I always wanted a saltwater tank. But i did the research first and it was was out of my reach of money for the main reason of being in college. so I went with a fresh water tank to learn about cycling and keeping fish because they are cheaper and learned that Then moved on to Dirt tanks that were planted. Mastered that so now i wanted to move on to what i really want..
In my research i found out a lot and i wanted a nano tank and i had a 20GL tank laying around.
My List:
Lights?
Now here is my Problem. I have a extra Dual light set up.
Its a T5 Dual Lamp Fixture that i had on my planted tank. It puts out about 45 watts. Will this work for FOWLR because i heard you need sometimes 4 Watts per gallon. Will this Work or no?
LiveRock?
Now My last question is the live rock.
i was thinking 10Pounds of Base Rock and 10Pounds of Live Rock and let the base rock become live rock?
