new to salt

i was just goin to do like 20 30 lbs of live and whatever more i need in dry

 

That will be fine it's really whatever you want to spend. Personally I would do 100% dry because there will most likely be critters living in that rock that you don't want in your tank.

 

**** 100% dry rock is it cheaper the better I dnt have a lot of $ can I buy it n let it sit on the floor

 

i bought his key largo with his sales right now i would do the 40lbs of sand his sand is super fine and believe is gonna be great in my up coming 75g also it comes with 40lbs of his key largo rock also and you can request what sizes you want. then you could get the on sale 50lbs and that would give you a good start i got about a 100lbs in my 75 and i am satisfied with that, but you probably would want around 150lbs ish really up to you and you can calculate how many pounds of sand you will need on this web site. for a 2in sand bed on my 75g was 61lbs and if you want to just get the rock first he sent me a sample of his sand when i bought 25lbs of rock from him thats why i bought more but everybody likes different things hope this helps

 

in regards to the coralife 125 , i think you would be way better of with the coralife 250 ss. 125 imo would be too small. i have the 125 and ive found it to be very easy and dependable to use and control. produces very good skimmate.

 

I have sand already the sand I got it from a friend at my lfs and its about 80lbs of it

I was lokin into getin the 250 just so I know I have enough

It kind of sucks cause I'm tryin to do this as lower cost but get them best things and its not happenin so ill just have to spend the $

 

If you want good running system man its gonna cost you $.
Im still griping over some of the prices myself. But its all worth it in the end when you see you system up and running.

 

Yea I know that why mine is not up and runnin yet

Plus I'm just makin sure that I get all the rite things so I dnt have to buy them again and I'm buyin what I can when I can and doin a lot of shopin around if you know of a good site to order off of post the link

 

If you have the budget for controllable then go for it, thats the worst thing in this hobby is trying to find a deal or to take shot cuts just to buy or upgrade again down the road. Go with Koralia 3's and 4's your livestock will love them.

 

I was goin to ran 3 or the 3's in the tank if that will be enough of them and maybe down the line get 1 more
