Hello all,
I have been cycling my tank and it is about there, just working on an algae bloom. I will then add a couple fish (not many) and lots of coral over time. I want my coral to flourish as that is the main point of this tank. I am looking for a successful way to do this (as I have not been as successful as I would like in the past) and have read so much advice on it that my mind is spinning. I have a 40 gallon breeder with a 20 gallon sump, a 10 gallon refugium, and a section with the return pump. So can someone dumb it down for me as much as possible and answer the following:
- Exactly what parameters should I be testing for? I have only been testing for Ammonia, Nitrites and Nitrates so far.
- What should each parameter be at?
- How often should I check the parameters?
- How often and how much water should I be changing?
- How long should lights be on and is there a recommended schedule/intensity (I have LED lighting that I can adjust all color intensity and timing on)
- How many snails and blue legged hermit crabs should I add to a tank this size and when?
Thank you for your help
