Reefing newb
New to saltwater, although have had sucessful 55 and 120 gal freshwater tanks.
Just set up a 55gal saltwater tank kit from petco.
Emperor 400 Bio wheel
added a powerhead
mix of crushed coral and live sand
The LFS said i can add fish right away with the live sand because of the bacteria in it. So i did put two blue damsels in which seem to be doing fine, they have been in there since yesterday and the tank has only been up for a few days. I would like to add some live rock, can i still do this or should i have done it already. (is it too late)? also wondering if i should use some media in the extra compartments in the emperor? if so what kind/size? Do i need a protein skimmer? LFS said no. Thanks for any help, any additional info would be great too.
