I meant to say garden or backyard, rocks from those areas can leech toxic chemicals into your tank.

You can use southdown play sand and a select few others but you cant just use any kind of sand it has to have a calcium carbonate composition which if im correct can be checked by adding vinegar to a handfull of sand. If the sand bubbles sand is good if not try another.

You can use just regualr rocks for a base but you have to be sure of their composition as some rocks can leech chemicals into your water especially those from the "gardeor backyard".

You can feed them phytoplankton added about once or twice a week to your reef.

You could add a orange tube coral, they are a low light med/high flow coral. They require feeding but what you feed should be good. The scientific name is Tubastraea sp. Ive added one to my tank in a similar spot and it is one of the best looking coals out there IMO.

I have a 180g FOWLR tank with a hippo and two false percs I would like to add at least a coral beauty and possibly a bicolor is this possible. Also is this a good idea to add the angels before other species I know some angels can be aggressive, or is that more attributed to larger angels.

I think a good HOB skimmer is the turboflotor 1000 multi it works well on my 180 without problems.

I just have a question as to the reason for waiting is it to build up their food supply in the tank or is it for water maturity/live rock maturity. :notsure:

1) If that is the way you want to start you tank you should wait a few days to aerate and properly circulate the new water. Then you could add a fish or two hardy of course to the tank. 2)Follow the guidelines from this site 3)This depends on the wattage of the lights/size of tank and...

I have a 180 g with around 100# LR but has not been set up for 6 months. Is 6 months an absolute minimum.

I was wondering how long is a good idea to wait before adding a tang to a system after it has cycled. A LFS tried to tell me I needed to wait a min of 3 months 6 being better.

Please keep me informed if you plan to break up and sell b/c I live in southern mich and would be interested in skimmer, lights, and filter if you have. check profile for e-mail address.

I was wondering if anything other than the fish, live rock, and lighting are for sale? I live in southeast michigan as well.
