Hi I have some Questions fot you as I am a new saltwater tank owner and I am in the process of starting it up. I want to have a reef tank and the tank that I have bought was used and came with $400 worth of coral. So my first question is how can I save the coral while my tank cycles? Also if you have coral do you need LR ? I want to get some but if it is over kill or if the coral does the same thing as LR then I don't need it. Or if I need to use Less LR then 1 lbs per gal.. . I have a 75 gal tank. Do I need 75lbs of LR? I want to use a biologacal filter system. If I use LR and LS with a protien skimmer is that enough filtering or do I need a wet/dry as well? I've been reading alot of stuff but the combonation of equipment or filtering styles I have not found. So With the intent of having coral what combonation of filtration will get the job done. I plan on useing a sump for easy access to the mantiance the tank needs.
Any help you can offer will be apreated...
