I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello to everyone and let you know what i have and what i should do...Thanks
I am new to the saltwater thing and i have a 75 gallon tank. I got the tank and stand from a friend and it has about a 100 lbs of fiji live rock in it with some shrooms on it. I put new sand in it and all new water. Its cycling and the sand is turning brown and the rock is goldish brown. I hear this is good.
Well my questions are how many hermit crabs should i put in it to start out?
The tank had a 30 gallon tank under it with a nautaluis (spelled wrong) protien skimmer and the pumps and stuff. Well i did not use that stuff and instead put a Bio wheel Size 400 on it with two 1200 power heads and a heater in it. Is this set up ok? I am going to get a protien skimmer that hangs on the tank later on when i can. Someone told me that the bio wheels are no good and the lfs said its fine.
Any information at all on what i should do starting this tank up is greatly appericated.
Its been going for 2 weeks yesterday.
Thanks everyone, JOe
ps. i can take some pictures if ne one needs to see what all i have.
