I have a 30g tank i just acquired and i want to set it up for S/W. I know i want LR, LS to start...In the end i want this tank to house a few small fish, and maybe a mushroom or 2..nothing too fancy. So far from reading a lot of different posts, I've figured I'd get a Protein Skimmer (size?) and (2) Koralia Nano Aquarium Pump 265GPH. Any other suggestions on what else i should get for the cycle period and for down the road when im ready to put a few fish in. My tank is 18 inches tall and 30 inches long. I would just like to know what YOU would do if your starting a 30 gallon tank the way i described how i want mine. When should i test the water? When to replace water? Do i need really need T5 lighting if all i want is a few fish and a mushroom or 2?..How do you cycle?..Leave everything except light running? I know all this is somewhere in past posts but there are ALOT of posts to go through and not many with my size tank..thanks for your help whoever replies!..
