So without a cuc I'll basically have to do more water changes right? And I'll get two more powerheads just to have one in each corner

Also do you think two 1300gph powerheads is enough or should I get more?

Then what am I supposed to use is there any fish that I could put in that would work?

Good to know I'll be sure there's none of that. Whats a good CUC I could put in with a snowflake eel, lieutenant tang and Picasso trigger or antenna lionfish?

What does aiptasia and mojano look like and why are they bad?

I'm planning to have live rock and macroalgae but so basically I just have to take my chances and hope there's nothing bad on it? Cause pepperment shrimp and wrasses would just get eaten by the fish I plan to keep

Ill definitely be getting a refractormeter and how do you cure your own live rock?

What do you look for what are some signs that it's a good rock or bad rock

How do you make sure that the live rock you bought doesn't come with any bad parasites?

Alright and does it matter how deep it is

I plan on keeping a snowflake eel, lieutenant tang and a Picasso trigger or antenna lion fish so I would probably want a finer sand for eel right or would he be fine with aragonite

So does it matter if I use sand or how deep it is

It was a forum I think and they were saying DSB is the best and that if your just starting a tank you should use agaronite instead of sand

I've also been reading that sand is not a good starting substrate is this true

It seems like water changes are the thing to do so I'll do them I was just curious how they wouldn't have to do them

I think I'll stick with RODI water but how do I get my tank to were I wouldn't have to do water changes?

Im also confused on the water changes and if tap water is actually ok to use.

What should I look for in my tap water like what are the bad things? And how would I go about setting my tank up to make it a balanced ecosystem?

You didn't do water change in 7 years? How'd you manage that?

I'm not sure what my bioload will be like but I'm only going to have like 3 or 4 fish. How often did you do water changes? And how macroalgae would I need to filter the water? Whats the diy method for calcium, alk, and mag?
