Reefing newb
I said I would have more. First let me thank little fish and the others with my last post, about the sump and live rock. to refresh I bought a used 40 gal tank with a current orbit light fixture 1 850 powerhead, heater and controler, 50lb of rock that has been out of the water for months. I am going to set up a reef tank. I purchased the aqua c remora protein skimmer with maxijet 1200, pre skimmer, additional 1050 power head, and coralife lunar aqualight t5 ho fixture with 4 bulbs. From what I have read this light should allow me to grow most coral. Am I correct in my thinking? Also little fish and someone else mentioned I could use my old rock and just seed it with some fresh live rock and cycle the tank. I want to start this process but want to know if I need to do anything special to the old rock before hand or during the cycle process. I was in a fs not in my town but a ways away and stoped in to ask some questions, they acted like doing this is a real pain and I should stsrt off with new rock, but my local shop said just use some new with the old. so is there anything special i should do? I hope im not bothering anybody with these questions but I want to do this right and the more i know the better. I also bought a book to help me. Thanks in advance
