Hi all,
It's been several years since I had my last tank. I haven't even checked to see if my old pics are still up from when I was last on but... I'm making a new setup!!! Very excited. I had a 46 bow, hang on back filter and skimmer, and t-5's. I'm now going to be setting up a 125gal tank. FOWLR setup with cheap, pretty, and aggressive fish. Thunderdome meets Joseph and the technicolor dream coat::. Anyways I am setting up my basement and I am going to run through a wall behind the tank into a separate room where I shall setup the old 46 as a fuge.
I'll be posting more specific threads about that later. Today I wanna know about:. ~WATER~ :.since that's my start besides equipment. RO DI waters and straight from the tap.
Chemicals, Reactions, Dangers, Pro's and Con's ,and estimation of use for a tank this size. If you have any info about where to purchase I ask that it be online purchase through dealer websites only not from anyone within the forums selling personal items.
Also, I would like information for live rock ratio and an estimation of sand that would be appropriate for a tank this size with a moderate amount of fish. We'll say dead on to just under fish to water ratio.
I currently have a HOB CPR bak-pak 2 skimmer with stock motor. I'll check to see what it's gal's per min later but tell me how much more I'll need. I have some awesome canister filters that I got for free....like the tank...and stand...and lights...AWESOME I KNOW!!....ok anyways these are a 3-4 stage filter systems and about 12x12x15 to give an idea of what they are like. I have two plain white led lights ( I have no idea what brand they are) 1 for each half of the tank.
I'm going to be drilling and construction my live rock. Tell me what type of compound would be suitable for a Salt tank. How about the effects of wood in a salt tank also? ph I figure is the biggest factor.
Thanks for all your time folks
