on my way new 90 gallon reef( I have questions) please help!!
I am on my way with my new 90 gallon tank. Sump is built, got my new led lights ( blue line 120 watt) supposed to be equivalent light to a 250 watt MH, 3 inches of agornite sand (120 pounds). the protein skimmer i bought is good for 180 gallons.
Here is where I am having trouble. I bought 100 pounds of base rock. From most of my reading, it looks like you need about 2 pounds of rock per gallon of water. I was going to add 60 pounds of live rock, I am happy with the way the tank looks now, I feel if I add another 60 pounds of live rock the aquarium will be too full. Don't I need to leave some space for fish to swim? the base rock I bought is very porous so mabey it is larger for its weight since it has so many holes?? |

All the Live Rock is your filter, if you do not use enough, your water quality will be compromised. Throw the rest in your sump.
