CaribSea ARAG-ALIVE Black and presalted water from LFS Fishy Business SC. Turned on pumps waiting for it to clear. Pick up LR tomorrow. Is there anything else,lights,skimmer,etc that I suppose to run?
welcome to rsm club! be sure to check out my 130d (itzjustinn build thread) or you can click reef chronicle link under my name. check the thread above to help you get your skimmer running properly.
More than one way to proceed... but I always ran my skimmer a few hours a day to break it in & I started my lights at 4 hours a day while cycling & increased them an hour a week...
Yes a refractometer is a must. ATO I'm insure of. I have no clue about them anyways.
Live rock is best but u can get 5lbs live rock and let the rest seed. Or you could get completely dead rock and drop a deli shrimp in and wait. It will take longer but cost less
Saw the tank! Nice Reggie. I aspire to have one like that one day if all goes well with this one. My MP10 suppose to be in today and I think I'm going to order a Tunze 3155 ATO right now.
Got my MP10 and the next item is a Tunze 3155! How did you know? I guess I'm ALL IN for this hobby. Question: How does the Hydor FLO rotating water deflector fit on the 130 pump. Straight to the pump or on the movable extension ?
