Im in no rush to add fish I want to take it slow and try to get everything right. And I don't get it how would the rick "die"?

Im planning to start with 20-30lbs of live rock and build it up over time and can I mix live sand with some other sand

Should I get live sand or is live rock enough?

Alright then I'll look into a good RODI system and does that mean I don't even need water conditioner?

And theres no kind of water conditioner that removes all that stuff and if I use RODI water do I even need water conditioner?

If it actually works I'll sit there all day if I have to.

Does the Brita filter actually work?

Then is there something I should put in its place? And when you first fill the tank does it need to be filled with nothing but reverse osmosis water?

I can get all of but it'll take me a month or two but I guess I'll hold off on the skimmer for and I thought a skimmer was necessary in saltwater and a stupid question I'm sure but what the DI stand for in RODI?

Oh ok and if you can't use tap water do I need to fill the whole tank with RO water? And I thought the dechlorinator removed all that

I won't worry about it for now but why can't I just put regular tap water in and dechlorinator in it?

I'm trying to lower my cost cause them protein skimmers are gonna break my wallet

Not at all I ride a motorcycle and jugs and jugs of water is just not going to happen. And what do you mean air water and ice? And is it completely necessary to use reverse osmosis water?

How do I make my own reverse osmosis thing or should I just buy one

I think I'll go with a 150 gallon one just to be safe and upgrade if I need to but man those octopus skimmers are pricey

It seems like the heavier your bio load the bigger the protein skimmer? so since I'm only going to have three fish do you think a skimmer rated for 100 gallons would work

I'll look it up and is there a place where anyone here gets there equipment from at a discount or the cheapest place

Really cause all the octopus ones I found were really expensive. And what size protein skimmer should I get

Also would an ehiem 3000 work for my setup?

Alright I think I have everything picked out I just want to know is the Instant Ocean SCPS-150 SeaClone Protein Skimmer good?
