1. Can anyone recommend a good store on Long Island New York?
2. I am planning on setting up a tank this winter. I have the books, and I am reading them now. Most recommend 20% water change every 2 weeks. On a 100 gallon tank, that is 20 gallons. Where do you store this 20 gallons? Several 5 gallon buckets? Sound painful on larger tanks.
3. Seems like on a reef tank, you want a protein skimmer, but no additional bio filtering. So is it best to set up a trickle filter (w/o filtering), and a skimmer in the sump?
