Reefing newb
Hello everyone, it's my first post here. I have had a few freshwater tanks in the past and have desided to dive into the marine world. I have a 55 gal tank wich I have drilled myself and built an overflow box. There is a a 20 gal sump. The drain is 1.5" and return is 3/4". I have puchased a Mag drive 5 (500gph) and an ASM mini G. I had origanly planed to use live sand and 75 lbs of live rock. I ended up buying caribsea seaflor special grade reef sand, wich is not live. I was looking at several options and decided to go with live sand and didn't relize what I purchased was not live. I plan to start with FOWLR and latter move to some corals after I get the hang of things.
Will I need to buy more live rock to compensate for non live sand?
Should I place some live sand ontop of the Aragonite to help with the cycle?
Does the caribsea seaflor special grade reef sand make a nice floor?
Thanks everone
