Hi all, i am keen to set up a marine tank, FOWLR but have no experience.
Prior experience to this is a freshwater discus tank.. so i have a few questions
1) Where to get the cheapest cured live rocks
2) Is the cycling process the same for saltwater?
3) What sand substrate is the best
4) Salt mix vs sea water -> which better for beginners?
5) Basic equipment -> Is a skimmer all i need? can do without chiller ? (planning to have 3x 1.5/2 x 1.5/1)
6) which life stock is good for beginners yet colorful
7) What to look out for during the starting process, eg algae, pests ?
8) Additives -> is calcium the only basic requirement?
9) Test kits, i only need pH and ammonia right?
Oh and if any of you here have any equipments to give away do let me know
