I have soooo many questions..... everything i read contradicts the last page i was on lol. I would like a few corals but Im not looking for a big garden....Ill use a few fake ones and toss some real ones around them....
-will 300lb of live rock be enough or can i cut some down with live sand?
-Is our water decent enough to use with a carbon filter for water changes and filling?
-Will i need a chiller/UV/CO2?
-are bio balls useless in a sump as apposed to a bunch of live rock?
