Hi everyone my name is Jason and my fiancé is Michelle. We are about 3 months into the salt water fish hobby and as many started completely wrong. We had a 29 gallon tank set up that basically imploded chemically and we lost most of what we had. We are going to use this tank as a quarantine tank in the future, especially since we are fighting an ick battle now.
We are grabbing the stand for the 55 gallon tank now. I will be placing my current equipment in my signature soon but here is what we have bought to set up the 55 gallon tank.
Equipment
2 Marine Land Emperor 280, with a bio wheel
Remora Maxi jet 1200 protean filter, 295 GPH, with surface skimmer
48" 4ft T5 HO Marine Reef Aquarium Light 216W LED Legs
Other
Live Sand
21Lbs Live Rock(plan to expand to 55lbs at least when you tell me i should)
We are putting in the live rock and sand today. I have tried to read many things online to tell me exactly how long to wait before i put in inverts and starter fish. I was looking to see if someone could give me there professional, opinion on the steps and how long to wait. This tank hopefully at some point will host coral and anemone . The reef cleaner package i was going to order and put in this week is found here http://www.reefscavengers.com/. All of your help is appreciated and thank you
