Thanks everyone for taking the time to read my post. So I did my research and decided to take the plunge and get a saltwater tank. I bounced between a big tank and a small tank but settled on going with smaller. I ended up getting the Fluval 10531A1 SEA Aquairum Kit 13,5 gallon.(I know smaller tanks are harder) I started with Dry Rock, used CaribSea Aragalive in Fiji Pink and Imagitarium Pacific Ocean Water and added Instant Ocean Bio-Spira water. I am currently ghost feeding to start the ammonia process until I get ammonia to manual add to tank. (Don't know of local fish store in my area). My goal is to eventually have a Clown Fish, Goby, 2 Hermit Crabs, 2 Turbo Snails and 2 Shrimp. Eventually as the dry rock becomes more stabile I would like to add some corals. I just bought a 425gph to help with flow as well. My big concern is my set up of my rock. If I should have set it up a different way or if this set up will be ok. Also if anyone has any tips or suggestion for fish and corals and general things I should be watching out for or things that will help my tank out. Thanks
Everyone has an opinion of how to run a saltwater tank, so take it all with a grain of salt and understand that people are passionate about topics, but these passions are often just opinions! As long as you focus on consistency and simplicity, you set yourself up to be in the best position to succeed long term as a reefer!
