hey everyone...new to the forum...first post.
just bought my new aquapod 24 and i find myself just staring at it in my room for minutes at a time...really looking forward to putting some cleaners in there in a few weeks...im posting on here for any tips anyone can give me that i havent already read...i pretty much know the basics from what the LFS told me, but that isnt really much even though they were very nice...the booklet that comes with the aquapod is pretty much worthless as far as setting up goes, so ive just been going on what ive read online...
my system is completely stock so far. i plan on buying a more powerful jet in a few weeks...ive got my aquascape, live sand, and RO mixed saltwater all setup and sitting there for two days now...took only a few hours to settle...it crystal clear and looking pretty...
i was wondering why at the time that the clerk at the LFS store told me i didnt need to have a kit to check my levels, because they want me in the store while they do it for me...ill be buying my own tomorrow because i have no clue to whats going on in there...
something im not understanding is the bio balls...the black black balls that open up...along with the media...the LFS told me to just put them in the right back compartment? and what about the slots in the back right compartment? all closed except the top one? how i have it now it all slots closed and filtering in through top. media in bottom of comp and bio balls floating in top...hope its right...anyhow, enough rambling...ill post some photos of my new tank. let me know if my aquascape is acceptable...id rather make changes now...
