is this correct?
is this correct?
i setup my 20 gal about a month ago and I have this setup:
Tunze protein skimmer- love this thing. I started with coralife one and I hated it.
20# live rock
5# live sand
Just added a nano powerhead today and it seems like the perfect flow rate for this tank
lights are the cheapos that came with the tank- no plan to do corals or anemone until the tank is well established
I used a product called stablize to help the tank to cycle. It was ready for the cleanup crew after a week. Next I added two clownfish, a cleaner shrimp and starfish. My levels have been steady and I change about 10% of the water every two weeks.

quick question:
I put water in the tank, can I add the salt tomorrow? my filter is on its way in the mail so i didn't want to get started until it came

thats my point lol, i would have purchased about 25lbs. One bag of that would cut it no prob. You'll want the salt in right away. The sand will die and make it pointless in purchasing it "live"
