I have a 90gal uniquarium (translates to about 65gal. usable) I am filling it now with RO/DI water. My plan is to fill, circulate,add salt, circulate, for about a week. Then add about 70lbs LR and 3in.LS. The filtration on this tank is filterpad/charcoal, protein skimmer (Clear for Life Venturi skimmer) that was made for the tank, and then wet /dry. After reading so much in this forum I have a bit of a dilema. It seems that since the bio balls are a nitrate factory and that since I will have the LR then I don't need the bio balls. Is this a correct assumption? Does this mean I can just remove them? Is it true if I leave them in that my nitrates will be higher because of it? If so what do I fill in the space with?
I also plan on a good size cleanup crew, but not to many fish (Fire Angel, Engineer goby, 2 clowns). ***)
Any advice is surely appreciated.
