i just purchased a 28 gal jbj nano tank with a protein skimmer and 110watt cf lighting. i really havent decided if i plan to do coral but i am definately doing live rock,fish,inverts.
i already have a 75gpd ro/di system in place. i have a test kit and salt.
the only thing i will need is sand and live rock.
i was thinking 20lbs of live rock should be enough. the question is should it cured or uncured? what kind of rock is the best to use?
should i use live sand or just argonite? and how much?
im familiar with the cycling process and have done mostly fishless cycles on freshwater tanks using the ammonia method.
will this method be ok with the live rock in the tank?
or do u recommend the prawn method?
i heard i should keep the lights off during cycling. true or false.
after the tank is cycled how much water should i change per week?
premixed salt water?
i know i forgot some things.
thanks in advance...
