Ok so Ive had a little fresh water setup for a few months now and i urged for more. So I finally got a 55 gallon for xmas. Im looking to start saltwater setup. My cousin has the exact thing so any info i get will be passed to him.
We both want reef systems. I love zoos, zoas, mushrooms, basically anything with wild colors. So my question is.
What all should I get to do this right the first time? I have some hoods and lights, but I know they arent good enough for coral. What type of substrate? How much rock? And how long to cycle before adding rock or cycle after???? I plan to get a few chromis first and after maybe 2-3 months success with FOWLR Ill start odering frags off ebay.
My lfs isnt the best for saltwater setups, and theres not really any others around.
Ty sorry for being so long.
