Hello. I am a huge fanatic and keeper of African cichlids. I decided to venture out and start a nano saltwater tank.
So far I have:
10 Gallon tank
20" Glass Canopy
Whisper Nature Wet/Dry filter (55 gallon)
Azoo powerhead
Sand (Is it okay if I use regular sand and later add live sand? Wont the live sand change the other sand live over time?)
Base rock (White rock from PetSmart. If I add live rock later, will the rock turn live over time?)
Hydrometer
Saltwater Master Test Kit
I plan to get:
20" Flourescent Lightstrip (Would a Marine-Glo bulb be okay to use?)
Some Live Sand
Some Live Rock
I plan to make this tank FOWLR. I am open to livestock suggestions(I do not plan to get any until the tank has been set up for a month+)
Also, how do I use a hydrometer and what should my salt levels be? Also, how much salt should I add per gallon?
Thanks.
