i finally got the guts to do a saltwater tank :whoopee!: my tank is 75 gals and i want to have shrimp, corals, live rock an over all nice looking tank and have some questions about my set up
1. i currently have a Hagen Fluval 404 filter (from freshwater) can i use it for the salt water along with the protein skimmer that i bought
2. how much sand do i need to my tank
3. i read in another post that i can use non live sand to mix with the live sand. who makes non live sand that i can use in my tank and will it be harmful to the animals
4. is it okay to use tap water for my water changes and if not where do i get the water from
5. is it okay to add cured live rock in at the beginning when i add the sand and water
6. how much salt do i put in the tank
i know its a lot of questions but i am thankful for the help with the set up of the tank and i will be sure to add pics once its finished
