 Re: Protein skimmer when cycling the Tank?
Great, thank you everyone for sharing some light on this matter! You guys are cool!
I am planning to go and get some more LR this weekend, probably another 10-15 lbs, I'm following the general guidelines of 2 lbs per gallon. But I'm sure more rock wouldn't hurt, right?
After the water is mature (I'm hoping it will be done around a month or so), I will add one kind of livestock that's on my list about once a week, and my order is as follow:
1. Soft corals
2. 5x funnel turbos
3. 1x Cleaner shrimp
4. 1x Orange Linkia Star
5. 1x Rainbow urchin
6. 1x Bubble tip Anemone
7. 2x Percula Clown
8. 1x Cleaner Wrasse
9. 1x Blue Surgeon
10. 1x Green Madarin Dragonet
11. 1x Gobe/Angelfish or a schoal of Green or Blue Chromis
Would that be too much?
Also, if my nitrate went up to about 20 ppm during my maturation process, should I change the water??
