Hello All. I've been a silent reader for quite some time, so now I've decided that big step and get my self set up with a SWA. So here is my set up and what I've done so far...My tank has been up for about 3 weeks.
I have a 30g with a 10g wet/dry. I have a 296gh pump with a seaclone 100 skimmer in the sump and 95w pc.
I have 30lbs of LS and 45lbs of CLR. I filled the tank with seawater from the lfs. Now, I was told that the tank should be already cycled if it is set up that way. I let it run for a week and tested my levels at the lfs and they said they were perfect, so I added two sally crabs and a turbo snail, all is well. I waited a week and added 3 chromis and 2 sand shifters, every one seems to be doing fine. I also noticed some small feather dusters on my live rock that also seem to be ok. I was dealing with some temp issues but I added a heater and fan and that seems to be under control. The only problem that I have is that I've got to add about a gallon of water every two days to maintain water level. Am I on the right track?????
