I need help with the best way to set up a fish only tank. I recently had some bad luck with marine velvet in my reef tank, lost some fish had to do some drastic things to save the rest.
Basically I removed all my live rock, snails, hermits couple of shrimp and put them in another 55 gal tank to basically start over from scratch and do the reef thing the right slow way.
So that left my other 55 gal with m 5 remaining fish to be treated with Cupramine.
This is what I have running right now.
double biowheel filter( I moved my wet dry to the new tank)
about 20 lbs of sand that was left over.
Couple decorations for the fish to hide in.
Put my old generic lights up for the time being.
So do I need a skimmer, powerheads for flow?
What do I need for a fish only vrs a reef tank?
I was told to lose the bioballs by someone else, why is that. Should I find something else for my reef tank and use the wet dry in my FO tank?
Lots of questions sorry.
