Reefing newb
I am new to the hobby and would like to know if my tank will be ok using a biowheel rather than the seaclone 100 that I have. I bought the seaclone four or five years ago when I started my first tank that lasted about a year. Five years later I got the bug again and set up my 25 gal hex tank with 22 lbs of cured rock and 20 lbs of live sand. I have been doing tons of research this time and have found that this protein skimmer is not that great. In my experience, I will get foam starting to enter the collection cup and then suddenly lose it. I am about to pull it out of the tank and put my biowheel in, just do not know if this is a wise thing to do. I am currently on my second week of my cycle with no fish. I intend to keep fish and some soft corals when I am ready which will not be at least for a year. I do have snails and hermits because I jumped the gun and thought my tank was fully cycled. After reading and reading I have realized that I never let my ammonia levels really get high enough. I
realize I may lose some snails and hermits, but will they help in my cycle?
