Hey guys
I am pretty new at marine fish keeping, and I found this site to be a great help. But, I do have a million questions, and I don't trust the people in the fish stores, because everyone tells me something different
I apologize for asking so many questions in one post
I have a 75 gallon tank, with 2 Fluval 404 filters and a 15 watt UV Sterilizer. Is that enough? Should I put on a protein skimmer?
How does changing the water every so often, help the tank. I thought the reason we cycled the tank was to remove all the bad stuff from fresh water... So, doesnt putting more fresh water into the tank negate the cycle? I know you are supposed to, I just cant figure out why...
I have a yellow tang in there, and I read that they like lettuce
Does that mean I can just chop up pieces of store bought lettuce, and throw it into the tank?
I feed my fish a lot of frozen Brine Shrimp, but I heard they like live food more...
The only thing is, Im afraid of parasites from live food... Is this a legitimate concern, and should I stick with the frozen food, or is it safe to feed them live shrimp every so often?
How many fish can you keep in a 75 gallon tank? I like to keep it under-populated, because I feel it's safer... I only have 4 or 5 at any given time
Should I put more in?
I have a million more questions, but I dont want to piss anyone off my first time here
Thank you so much in advance, if you can help me out
