hello all, I just want to get a few opinions about going to SW. I have had many FW systems in the past and matter of fact my current tank is almost through cycling. I want to do this in the summer and for right now keep my FW tank. In the summer I will give my water and creatures to my sister and she will already have a mature tank. My tank is called a 25 gallon, but my volume calculations see it al 28 gallons. Questions:
1. Crused coral or live sand?
2. How much live rock to just get started? will add more later.
3. How much circulation (pump gallons per hour)?
4. One or two damsels to cycle the tank?
5. Use around 1/2 cup salt per gallon for aproximate salinity?
6. What kind of bacteria booster for SW to use?
7. How many total fish can I have in this 28 gallon tank when cycled? with 1 shrimp and 1 serpent star?
Anything else you guys want to add would be great, thanks greg :help:
