Hey guys, first off I'd like to say great forum, I've been looking at it for nearly a week now and I feel like I've only scratched the surface.
Anyway, so my family and I have started a 40 gallon tank(no pictures yet, sorry :cry:) that has been running quite well for almost a month now. We've started it out with a mixture of substrate and live sand and then a few pieces of live rock. .Thanks to some bad advice from a LFS that we'll probably never deal with again, we've already added 2 damsels and 2 clowns. Thankfully the tank hasn't gone south yet and all our levels are fine. However, we were wondering if it was time to add a protein skimmer yet? And if so, what is one that you would suggest? Also we're running a Marineland 350 Bio-Wheel filter, is there anything else we've overlooked in the matters of filtration? All the retailers we've dealt with so far just seem interested in a quick sell, we just want to do this right.
Thanks in advance for all your comments and suggestions.
