New to the forum, great site. About 25 years ago I had a salt set up for about 4 years with live feeders (lions and groupers), with pretty good success.Now I am going to set up a Bio Cube 29 (got a used but never filled one cheap) with my 16 year old and need info. Have searched this and other forums, but need clarity. Here goes.
My plan is to buy live rock and "live bagged sand" from my LFS, and buy 25 gal. of their water. Will put that in tank, and let set for ???
I assume I need a heater, compact 50w in filter box; what brand?
Bio ball; no balls but fibre, filter/carbon pad that was included; Oceanic skimmer made for Bio cube??? How best to use/mod the stock filter system.
Whose test kits, hydrometers?
I would like a low maintanace reef/fish tank, a clown, shrimp, feather duster, polyps. I would like not to be in the 20% water change a week business, will be willing to live with less in tank for more simplicity.
Thanks for your input.
