I'm planning on starting my first Salt water tank.
The measurements of the tank are 24w x 12d x 17h.
I think this is a 24 gallon tank, but not completely sure, I've had it in my house for a good number of years. Now here is my list of questions:
1. I want to host some puffers (cow puffer and porcupine puffer), is this tank big enough for them?
2. Can I put some corals with the puffers?
3. Can I put a mantis shrimp with the puffers?
4. I have 40 lbs of live sand already, is that enough?
5. How many lbs of live rock do I need?
6. What other equipment do I need besides a water heater and a power head?
7. What kind of lighting do I need?
8. What is substrate used for?
9. When measuring the tank for Nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, ph-alkalinity, calcium and magnesium, what is a suitable level for this tank?
10. If I’m missing other stuff for this tank, please advise.
Thanks in advance.
