Hello everyone,
I just converted my 55 gal. freshwater into salt. I have a Amiracle wet/dry filter , no protein skimmer yet ( still trying to work around the cost issue with my wife )And I have about an inch of crushed coral for substrate. How would I go about adding just a few pieces of coral ( probably 2 ) with my fish. And What will I need to have the coral flourish? Lighting is a question because I know the standard lighting on the tank is insufficient.Keep in mind the tank is new with only my clown, 2 firefish, a royal gramma, and a few assorted pieces of liverock right now. I also have a 30 gal. quarantine tank in case I need it.Basically I'm as new as you can get, the 55 gal. is a big jump for me as I only had the 30 gal. fish only for about a year. Any info you can give will be great!
