eclipse filtration and illuminaton combo

air driven skimmer

fluval 1 internal powerfilter(coirulation at botom as it's a tall tank)

aragonite reef sand 1'deep

coralife salt

day one fill tank with FW and mix salt add airstones, turn on the eclipse and the internal filter to aid disolving (airstones to be removed after disolvation)

day three adjust salinity and add substrate

day five add uncooked coctail shrimp to cycle

-how long do i leave this in????

add protien skimmer after two weeks

add cleanup crew 3 blue leg hermits

wait_____days before adding 1 eel goby

THERE WILL BE NO LR BECAUSE I'M GOING FOR A WHITE ON WHITE LOOK TO MAKE THE FISH POP SO THERE'LL BE CORAL TUFA ROCK AND CORAL REEF ROCK

instead of the shrimp, why dont you just drop in a few flakes of fish food. much cheaper and less stinky and ugly to look at. wait 30 days before adding any fish, make sure it is cycled.

i'll use the flakes and my lfs said they'd give me some sand out one of thier Lr setups to start the cycle

I agree with HuBu... The "dead shrimp method" can utilize anything so long as it will decay and is "reef safe." Everything looks good! Question though, what do you mean by "air driven filter?"

[Vijay]

imaeant skimmer not filter the airstione will only be ades to aid disolvation i ve decided to add a few pounds of Lr to aid cycling along with the shrimp as it will ecay faster as it was once alive or so i;m told
