1. Tank size. 29 Gallon. 30x12x18.
2. What type of tank and how long has it been running? FOWLR. 1 week.
3. Water parameters. No water parameters as of yet. Salinity is stable at 1.021 and 1.022. Temperature is stable at 78 degrees. Water was aired and filtered out before adding live rock and sand for a week. No chemicals or conditioners added. As of now, water will be changed 50% weekly until water parameters are stable. Will see from there. Possibly 10-20% water change weekly or bi-weekly.
4. Set up. Cultured Fiji live rock. 30 lbs. White sand. 30 lbs. Current set up is a Marineland Penguin Power Filter 350 (tube was shortened; tube length was near sand, now in the middle of the tank; afraid the filter might suck up the sand), Marineland Stealth Submersible Heater 200-watt with a 60 gallon Sea Clone Protein Skimmer. Lighting is an All Glass Aquarium 17-watt fluorescent 30" light bulb. Might upgrade to a 30 or 60-watt.
5. Livestock. None as of now. Maybe a month later. Would like 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, 1 Hippo Tang, 1 Blue Leg Hermit Crab, 1 Cleaner Shrimp, and 1 Sand Sifting Starfish.
Hi. I am new to this saltwater hobby and forum. I have been researching for quite some time and happened to stumble upon this site. Seems to be a very helpful site. I would like your inputs on my set up. Please ask questions and share useful information as I would like to see my tank grow. Thank you.
