I would agree on the Deltec also.....

Hmmm...I would also be tempted to run some form of external filtration untill a larger ammount of live rock is in the tank, as 20kg is not going to provide much surface area for bacteria to colonise on.....

Just my thoughts...

the 20kg of live rock is just a starter niko i will be adding more as i go plus i will only have 1 fish too start with.
how much live rock do you think i should have in total and how much base rock.

live rock is pretty pricey!!! its £12 per KG of fiji

how much is it where you are dixon?

i'd get 100lb of rock......50/50

ok then i will go for 60/40, is that 50kg live and then base rock on top or 50kg total.
i will keep the in mind niko as it looks a decent price, i will buy as much locally in the classifieds as i can first and then top up the rest from there.
what sort of sand would i need to use.

and thanks for the info miguel.

Hey there
Yea I love that Caribsea Live Sand with Agronite in it to I put that stuff in my 125 gal tank ( Oh Yea I African Cichlids from Lake Malawi ) away I put it in and couple of days later it was 0 ammonia 0 Nitrites 0 Nitrates my Tank was fully cycled . I couldn’t believe it At first I was skeptical of the sand but I have read up on it and it said that it would do this to my 125 gal tank so I gave it a go I bought 5 /40 lbs bags

And it’s been that way now for a year or so and all of my parameters have been stable. Now I tell my friends about this Live Cichlid Sand mix some have it some don’t but that’s ok
Saves me so much time with maintenance every couple of months I change my filters or clean them in tank water and put it back together and do 25 percent water change and I’m done

Have a good one buddy
