so ive had my 65 gallon running about 4 months now. i had some deaths in the beginning due to a bad LFS recomendation of adding too many fish at once. im taking it slower now and currently have 2 clowns and 2 pj cardinals. all seem happy so far. now i ditched the bio wheel and just running a HOB skimmer. i have about 70 lbs of rock (mostly dry, about 15 lbs live from local store). and 60 pounds sand. I recently made a screened in top which came out really nice. i just ordered a 36" T5 fixture with 6 bulbs and plan to add some corals soon.
most of my dry rock that i started with is still very light in color. how long does it take to start turning dark?
what are some good corals to start?
can i be just as successful with a HOB skimmer as opposed to running a sump?
im currently doing a 20% water change once a month but think im going to start doing 10% every 2 weeks. hopefully ill add some pics later.
