I have been looking into crossing over to salt and have a pretty good idea of what I want. I could use all the help & advice I can get since I'm new to this.
This is what I have and plan on using-
-125 gallon tank
-wet/dry filter w/ bio balls
-overflow box
-led or t5 lights
(I also have a few fluval 306,406 along with a few smaller tanks that I could use as sumps if I NEED to)
I want to have a tank with a nice flame or koran angel and a niger triger, maybe a small grouper. Can i get away w/ about 100 lbs of live rock and 80-100 lbs of sand? I was going to start with all new dry rock & dry aragonite sand, use instant ocean for my water, and get a few green chromis for starters and expect it to take a few month(2) to cycle before I add more fish. So I guess my questions for now are 1. can I do this with my set up list above? 2. should I try and cycle my tank differently? 3.What or how would be a better way to go about this?
thanks for any help
