Does a normal fliter work. My friend has coral i only want fish. They are pressurring me to take my filter cartridge out throw it away add cermic beads and filter floss. Is he wrong hes always making me spend more. Like i want a hydrometer he bullies me into a refractometer. I only want fish and hes like oh get reef salt only "its so much better". Like im too poor for him. :( he also said i need a wavemaker for my fish. Its just a 10gal i think hes lying about that too. He just wants flow for corals i bet. He sells coral i think hes conning me
Hey thanks for the question, yeah a simple hang on the back filter for a small fish only system will be fine. Keep up on water changes. The replacement filter cartridges do need to be switched out periodically.Also I would add a small circulation pump for water flow so that there are no dead spots for food to settle and so the water doesn't become stagnant and have a film across the top. As far as the salt if you're talking instant ocean salt or their reef crystals for example if you are not planning to add corals down the road then the regular instant ocean is fine.
Can't stress enough how much easier it is when u start with real mature live rock n sand skips most the ugly 👍
Cool nano build
Thanks. It's such a fun build! The kids love it!
THIS! This about the size i wanna do in the foyer lol Joey, you are converting me :p
It's a nice size! You should go for it! 😀
Look forward to the progression of this tank. And seeing if it goes through the same uglies as when starting with dry rock and sand.
Thanks for checking it out. I'm excited as well, It's been really cool so far. Awesome little critters in the tank.
I noticed Harley any cycle instant reef I put coral fish rock sand all at once including sps never lost a coral
With live sand and rock how long buyouts will be able to add fish?
So with this process through Tampa Bay Saltwater, at week 3 you can start adding fish.
You can add damsels or clowns day 1

Hes trying to bully me into a reef coral tank I cant afford it. I just want basic clown fish 10gal.

Isn’t Aquachar that ridiculously overpriced charcoal? Tell me you’re not wasting money on that stuff.
