Well I'm a newbie and loving it! It's better than watching tv
I really think I'm going way too fast but I was ill informed when I started out but have since done lots of research on the net so I hope it all turns out well.
I have a 75 gallon tank, no sump, a Remora pro skimmer, 2 aquaclear 50 powerheads with filter connected to a wavemaker (works really nice),
48" LunarLIGHTS, a fluval 404 (was sold this for nothing
running empty with Rowa Phos only. Also I have almost 80 pounds cured live rock on 80 pounds of crushed coral.
I don't know if I missed anything but that's what I remember so far.
What I mean by started too fast is I already have fish and coral and everything is running perfectly so far.
I've been checking all my parameters often in case something goes wrong but nothing yet, maybe I'm just lucky!
