LETS FISH

Saltwater help… again? I’m confused, LFS I have been dealing with said live rock be the primary filtration?

I went to a different LFS yesterday and now my head is spinning!

My 55 gallon tank was set up using 55 lbs live rock (14 lbs base rock). I intend to get the live rock up somewhere around 75 lbs. I have two powerheads and a hang on protein skimmer with biological filtration (Bak Pak CPR). I was told that that would be all that I need for filtration.

However…. yesterday I went to a different LFS and the owner told me that I will need to either by a wet/dry system or hook the fluval 405 (that is on my tropical tank) up to the saltwater and get something less for the tropical.

The lady that I have been dealing with discouraged me from using the fluval with the salt water (unless I turned it off when feeding) – she said my little critters at the bottom may not get enough food.

Please help, I am ready to cry:( I have spent so much money and just when I was getting ready to add fish I hear this! All I have a tank full of rocks!

Go with the first source,keep your stocking levels low,don’t over feed.Give the live rock time to develop its colonies of bacteria and inverts. Turning a Fluval off and on would create more problems than it would solve. A wet/dry system is a nitrate factory,and is the old technology,it would work, but it would defeat the purpose of the skimmer and the live rock. I’ll bet the second guy had a wet/dry system to sell. It’s better to pick a Guru and stick with (her,in this case) and don’t deal with two opinions. Also get an up-to-date book that will help you understand the ways that your system works and study, study, study. Then you won’t be tossed about by the theories of others. Yes, all you have is a tank full of rock,but they are very cool rocks,and given time to regrow to their former glory would make a very interesting display without ever adding fish. Go slow,add very few fish at first,be patient,like you said,you’ve spent a lot of money,don’t blow it now by trying to hurry things too much. The first LSF will understand that you are in a hurry to add fish. Let them understand that you are willing to wait to get everything right. The live rock will make a fine filtration system,but it doesn’t happen over-night. —–Good luck—-PeeTee

Excerpt from book: [In order to an adequate comprehension of the theory and practice of fly fishing, some general acquaintance with and knowledge of the art of making and using the tackle employed, as also of the habits and history of the several fish it is proposed to ” angle” for, are clearly desiderata. They are, in fact, the alpha and beta of the business, the ultimate ”catching” playing the part of omega. These two important preliminaries being now, however, supposed to be more or less mastered, and the neophyte having become to some extent a naturalist as well as a fairly good judge in the matters of rods, lines, hooks,
