Reefing newb
Well if you want to see the train wreck that was my first attempt than look under the alge section.......Ok Im starting over
I have taken a go at this again with the help of actual people instead of salesman at a shop......Im making a list of what I still need to make a better go around this time...
What I have :
55 gal aquarium
2 empiorer 400 filters
maxi-jet 600
20 pounds of live rock
a t-5 light with a blue and some other light the guy sold me with it when I bought it
seems like I should have more, this is where you come in......I have a budget but its to get what I need to not let this fail
so I need a shoping list and I have some questions.....
__Thanks to the people that have told me I need a skimmer(octopus)i think....so thats on my list
__More Live rock I read 1 or 2 pounds per gal.....Is that live or rock to be seeded by the live rock?
__I want a refugium(i think it is spelled)...I have a extra 10 gallon tank I just need a good article or pictures of one(im a visual learner) and Im not sure how they work and what I need to get one started....I know I need a growing light not sure where to get one but thats why im starting my own thread for my endless questions and your know how
and once the tank cycles Im thinking Im going to start with snails and star fish maby a goby then a clown fish as my first real fish
Is this a good start are there any holes in my plan....I really would like to know how to set up a refugium.....also some one taked about a over flow tank how does that set up
Im sorry this may be a endless question fest but the little taste of reefing I had just got me reved up to get this going
Thanks for all your help in advance.....Im making a list and going this weekend to get the stuff:mrgreen:
