Hi people im relativly new on this forum so would just like to say hi! I need some advice and help with a reef tank im setting up, ive kept clam species for many years and fish but have never setup a full reef tank.
The equipment i have to use is.
55 gal tank 48x18x14
fluval fx5 canister
aqua one 600 lph canister
red sea prizm with surface skimmer
6 x 55 watt Pc lights
I want to use this equipment so sumps and refugiums are out as ive already spent a small fortune on aquarium knick knacks.
any advice on how to setup this equipment e.g bio media, chemical media and mechanical media would be greatly appreciated.
I understand nitrates can become a problem in reef tanks so i would like to minimise this as much as possible.
I would like to keep senistive inverts like anemones so your input would be of great help to me and the livestock.
