Hello Friends
So i just picked up a 175gal reef tank setup, up and running for the last 8 years...
1, it has way to much live rock, i'd say well over a 1/3rd of the tank is live rock..
2, there is no live sand
only fish is a old beat up common clown fish... Some snails, sump looks clean, nothing growing in it....
This is my first saltwater tank and i have a game plan on setting it up right but want some feed back incase i am doing something wrong...
Stage 1:
was going to add 120lbs of Arag-Alive Live sand to the tank, Also the live rock looks really bad... So i was going to add Some Liquid Reef and some Reef Solution to help boost the live rock. Then i was going to wait a few days and add 10 hard Coral frags along with some Coral-Vital, then wait 7 days adding supplements as needed, then add 4 Banded Coral Shrimp...
Stage 2:
If all looks well after a month, i was going to add a portion of Chaetomorpha Algae, 1 Bubble Anenome, 1 sebae Anenome, 2 Clown fish, and 4 Kauderni Cardinals
Stage 3:
again after a month, i was going to add 1 blue tang, 1 yellow tang, and 4 pink & blue spotted goby's
Stage 4:
again a month later, was going to add 1 Heniochus Black & white Butterfly Fish, and 2 Flame anglefish
Stage 5:
after another month i was going to add a pocillopara coral, and a acropora coral, and 2-4 Trapezia Crabs.
