Started Over!

[SaltyDude]

okay. after reading up on all the information that has accumulated on this forum, i decided to " Start Over "*ALL*

my girl looked around Down town in Houston,and found this placed called the " gallery "


please people don't go to PetCo , PetsMart ect. u can if u have to but find a Specialty store....
i about died when i went back to PetCo , to get some premixed Ocean water, and saw the difference between a good store and a bad one...


i bought right at 25 lbs. of Fiji jive rock at 6.49 a lb. its not fully cured , but it has been curing for about 4-6 weeks they said.

i really didn't understand the importance of this on a saltwater tank if u are going down the live rock/coral road.

but now after reading and getting a handle on it i can see why*PEACE!*

Sea Clone 100 series
Protien skimmer
120 Gallons. " Over rated i think "

and i also bought a Penguin 1140 Submersible Power head " 145 GPH ", have not installed it yet still trying to figure out if i need it or not....

thanks for all the info ev1 that posted to my other thread. *PEACE!*

It might just be my personal opinion but I think if you added just a plain black background to the tank it would really help it look so much better once you get some fish or corals in there. Other then that it looks nice! I love the way your LR is shaped

Also, is that your intake for your filter in the sand? I would get a few more another powerhead or two and take the filter out. All it will do is hold nitrates in it.

 

[SaltyDude]

so what you are saying is get rid of the whole filter set up?

i'm running that filter u see in the sand anf also a bio wheel and the protien skimmer along with 1 300gph not 145 gph powerhead.

You don't need a filter with a tank like this. The filter will cause more problems then anything. Your live rock actually acts as a natural filter in a reef setup like this.

ok so chunk the bio wheel along with the regular filter...
