Hi Guys,
i am going to purchase all gear needed to create a saltwater setup this coming saturday,
just joined here to get some questions answered :)
i currently have a 280 litre (I know you guys go off galons ill jump on google and do a conversion if you like) freshwater setup which i have had for about a year,
I always wanted saltwater but wanted to test my self with keeping freshwater first as it's easier to mantain ive been doing tons of research as it is but just want some thoughts from the pro's on here,
it is a 280 litre tank with a trickle system filtration (where it runs along top of the tank) nothing underneath)
i am really friendly with the guys at the local aquarium shop which helps, and they have advised i need to upgrade my lighting to white and blue? change filtration and purchase live rock and sand which i will keep in for 6 weeks before adding fish?
just wondering what your thoughts are on filtration ammount of live rock needed? depth of sand?
and starter fish / inverts once cycled?
thanks guys
p.s. its 75 gallons
