Ok my tank is up and running and cycled. I was able to use some sand, live rock, and some bio balls (that I let float around for a few months) from my small tank (20 gal.) and some Mollies to cycle the tank.
As of now, I have one butterfly fish, 2 damsels, a feather duster and a Chocolate chip star.
At some point I want to add coral, so the first question is what type of lighting do I need for some "soft" coral? I currently have a 2 lamp f-40 fixture, and would like to only change the lamps if that is possible.
Next question is, if I want to start adding coral in a few months, what fish can I add and what, if any, do I have to remove?
Also, is baking soda acceptable for raising the PH of my tap water (after running through my RO system?
Thanks, and any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
