I have a 55 gallon glass aquarium and I have a heater, a Aqua clear 70 HOB power filter, a Aquaclear 70 Powerhead rated at 400 gph, and a Sea Clone 100 protien skimmer. I have added my substrate my saltwater and 10 pounds of LR( my LFS said to buy more every month but this would be enough to start off with). I have had my filter, powerhead, heater and protien skimmer all running for 3 days. All my water level seem to be ok. The questions I have are:
1. Is my setup OK?
2. With my current set up should I be able to cycle the aquarium with just this alone?]
3. On my Live Rock there is a white film around it and i want to make sure its not harmful(I can post pics if needed)?
4. I'm using tap water and before adding my salt im using a water conditioner called Aqua plus. Is this alright or should I buy a RO unit?
Thanks for any help that can be given.
