Hi.
I recently purchased a marine tank and equipment, and now want to change to freshwater (African cichlids)
I have just began to fill the tank with RO water
How do I go about changing over?
I currently have a corner overflow tank with sump (4 chambers). (will attach pic)
What needs to be changed in the sump?
As you can see I have bio-balls and ceramic rings in the sump. And also some in the overflow box.
What ways are there to remove nitrate effectively?
Also, what equipment will need to be changed?
I have the following:
-return pump (+- 2000lph)
-300w jager heater
-auto top up unit
-DSB (Aragamax)
-caribsea aragonite seafloor special as substrate
-odyssea quad 54w lights
I also have dead (live) rock which I have scaped in the tank. Can this be used in the AC setup?
I hope some more experienced aquarists can help.
Thanx
