Hi folks,
I'm just looking for a some pointers on converting my 55gal FOWL tank to a reef tank.
All I have for filtration is a cheapy Bio Wheel Emperor 400 and a tank mounted protien skimmer. Do I need to upgrade my filtration system before I start adding softies?
My tanks been up and running for about 6 months. I've had a few set backs, lost some fish. I've tried hard to learn from my mistakes. Just a typical rookie I guess.
In the tank...
45 lbs. live rock
Cleaner shrimp
Two snails
Two Percula clowns
Medium sized bubble tip anemone (just added him a few days ago.)
All my water levels (ph, salinity, nitrate, amonia) seem to be fine.
Also, what kind of lighting would you recommend?
Any pointers anyone can offer are greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time, I look forward to hearing back from the experts!
