Hello!
I am totally new to reef aquariums. I bought old tank, was working on it now 2 months, buying equipment, reading etc.
Now I put into it live rock, filled it with water, soon I will get Dr Tims One and only and then I am ready to start cycling.
Overflow and sump are still dry and I would like to ask you if you would change something here?
It is better that skimmer is on floor or hanged - hanged is higher, there will be more water in sump in that case - is that important?
In sump will be pump, skimmer, ATO, heater and later macro algae reactor + active carbon , and more later dosing pump for KH, Calcium and Mg - Is anything missing?
I do not know how to make some filter for bigger parts, like filter socks - If it is needed?
how do I run aquarium, still filling water untill water level is correct in sump for skimmer?
I have 2 tunze 6045 and stream 3 - I have no idea where to put them
What do you think about aquascape? Before I will totally fill it with water I will add sand...
Before I start cycling I still have time to change something
Please give me some advice.
display tank is 3.28 feet long, 1.97 high and 1.97 wide
thanks for help!
