CastorTroy2150;235307How often should I be doing water changes?...anyhoo said:Water changes: 10% once a week, but that's just a general rule, if you check your water once a week, you will see whether or not you actually need to do a water change; if you're nitrates are high you may end up doing a 15% or higher, if everything is fine, and you don't have any coral, then you don't have to do a water change necessarily.
As for the skimmer, the sizes are normally rated upon tank volume, so it will say if it is good enough for your tank; however, if you plan to upgrade your tank at some point in the not so distant future, then getting one rated for a bigger tank (i.e. the size you planning for) wouldn't be the worst idea.
Im confuse, I dont plan on adding any more fish anytime soon, unsure of what you ment, the 3 that are in there are all that will be in there till it is stable and ready for more....
Sorry, I must have mis-read somewhere that you said you were going to try and initiate a cycle because your parameters hadn't spiked yet. :12: ...nevermind
Also I need some lights, any suggestions, as well as mounting options, dont wanna hang....:grumble: Whoop two top pieces in the back are touching.....they will get moved lol
If you don't want to hang your lights and are pretty handy/have your own tools, then you could actually make your own custom canopy for your tank and hang a 250W MH (should be plenty for your tank) inside the canopy. If you need some help, I've actually been planning on making one for my 55 for a while. The hex will make things a little more annoying, but if you have a miter-saw it won't be too bad.
If rock is touching the glass at the top, that's fine, you just want some room on the bottom that could be blown out from time to time so nothing crawls back there, dies, and is impossible to get out
Mine is more the green plague with purple pox :lol:
