Reefer Wannabe
:bounce:hola amigos:bounce:
I've just decided to get back in to salt water aquariums. I had a salt fiish aquarium for 5 years (seahorses). I managed well, but gave it up when I relocated. I grew up w/ parents that were avid reefers, so I have some knowledge.
I've reviewed a few sites and I'm questioning the amount of live rock and sand they recommend. I'm starting up a 37 gal reef. According to my calculations, it's recommended to have 50 lbs of live rock and almost an equal amount of live substrate.
That sounds like a heavy load for a small 37 gallon. What say you?
I'd also like to know what people think of Florida live rock. Cheaper, yes, but is it worth it? I've always preferred the Fijian.
Looking forward to your comments.
