Cool, someone who has the setup i'm going for so I'll be nagging you quite a bit for knowledge. I just converted my
55G frontosa tank (beautiful and hard to say goodbye to) over to S/W setup. I have the cascade 1200, Bio wheel 200, Marinleland maxijet 1200 PH and 20 lbs live rock with 20 lbs sand on it's way. I used the existing water and just added salt thinking that the established water would be good, it looks fantastic and theres not even any fish in it yet. What advice would you have and what would you do from here? Ammonia-0, ppm 1.023, No2/3-0....I'll get some pics when my wife teaches me how to do it. Thanks for anything.... | |
