does it matter if LR is on top or under the BR?

Whats the first step in setting up the tank? Should i have all the sand and rock in the tank before i add water? Should i run the filters while the "stand storm" is going on or wait for it to end? How soon can i add a clean up crew? or should i not even add them during the cycle? And can you use...

Well im probally going to do MOStLY BR im actually going to use HI ROcks i think and just a couple pounds of LR... I thought by adding the salt sand and water now i could cut down on some of the waiting for the sand storm to calm down. But the HI Rocks will start the cycle over again wont it?

Alright today we went out and purchased the tank and stand for our 55 gallon set up . We have decided to get most of our filters and what not online since all of the LFS's are very expensive.... We are going to get the LS, reg sand and salt at a local fish store though.. Our question is if we...

What types of rock do you guys use besides dead coral? Has anyone bought rocks from like landscaper?? I was thinking shale rock would make for building a a nice stepped wall.

Thats 1 of the problems with the bay... anymore sellers wont give you feedback till you leave your feedback and if you leave a negative they give you negative.... ---- is full of scammers!!!!!! ---- is a scam in itself lol.

Im going to post the info from a auction can you guys please leave some feed back on if this light would work well for corals and some soft anenome? Brand New In Box JEBO 48" 220W(55wx4) Power Compact lighting. SIZE: 48"L x 6.5"W x 2.25"H FEATURES: Sleek Aluminum Housing (Available in SILVER...

If i use all base rock (to cut cost down) and use 50/50 Live sand and base sand will the rock eventually all become live? Or would it be wise to atleast get alittle chunk (maybe a couple pounds) of LR to get it all started?

Ya is that bad? cause to me it sounds like BR is turning into LR... but dont take my word for it cause i know nothing yet :)

hey can you please tell me what kind of set up your using for filtration and lighting? Me and my wife are trying to figure out the info for a similar tank.

what did you pay for that set up about 200?

So your using a regular hood and not a metal halide?

Do corals need the metal halide? Im trying to keep costs down can coral thrive on VHO bulbs?

Just wondering are you going to have corals or anenomies?

Im actually trying to figure out the lighting now.

Do most hoods hold 3 bulbs?

thats what i was thinking... so i know you recommende 330 watts of VHO lighting... is that 2 bulbs 330 each or 2 bulbs totalling 330 watts???

So should i get the expensive lights now so i have them when im ready? Or should i start out with less expensive lights and when im ready for anenomies and coral go get the better lights?
