I went out of town and had my roommate take care of my tank which he didn't do. Hence my fish died. I shut everything off and have left it for 2 or 3 months. I have a 29gal with a wet/dry filter. About 20lb of what was live rock. It has been a FOWLR tank. I am planning on doing a serious water change, starting the pumps back up and testing the water? Should I try to re-cycle it by throwing a raw shrimp in there? What else should i do?
Also, I have a JEBO protein skimmer (a gift) which I have never hooked up, Should i hook it up? How important is a skimmer in a 29gal.
I have been thinking about purchasing a UV sterilizer. What do you all think about them? Are they worth the money?
Lastly, what fish should I go with? I lost quite a few fish my first time around, one that i never saw eat at the store and died, another that died because of big temperature changes (i didnt have a heater at the time) and three others which died within a month of being bought (i dont really know why). I have tried to do my research but im pretty ignorant on the subject and am learning as i go. What fish should I go with and in what order? I like clowns, six lines, dwarf angels etc. etc.. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks alot.
