Alright! So went to a 15gallon instead, wanted a bit more flexibility.......So got it, 15lbs of Live rock from Wai's, about 25lbs or so of live sand, and decided to pick up a new heater, 100W should be plenty. Mixed up my water, used RO.....Got my salinity around 1.021ish.....Waiting for the sand clouds to clear to do my first chem test.....Will be interesting, this packet of bacteria that came with the sand says I can start adding inverts when the water is clear......Not so sure about that, so I'll see what the tester says about that time! At any rate, I can't wait to start adding the cleaners to start things off and just drop feed them for a bit....My Fluval whips quite a bit of water around so I think the circ should be ok as it is for now.......
Question: How do most of you aerate/oxygenate your tank?? Just keep some ripples on the top surface? I don't want to introduce air because air=noise...And I'm not into noise...
Checked out the following today.....Big Al's, Red Coral, Wai's, Riverfront......Crazy Big Al's wanted 10.99/lb for rock!! ouch!
Still need a light, and maybe some wildlife eventually for the rock
