I just picked up a aqua pod system 24 gallons (monster tank took all 15 min to fill, drain, and towl dry, for my test fill lol ) and I am looking to get new light bulbs for it,
Stock-
One 32 Watt 10k/6.7k
One 32 Watt 460nm /420nm
Should I stick with this or get 2 of the 10k/460nm units?
Plan to grow soft corals, hammer, toad stool, anemone, just playing with it at this point and will be looking for more advice as I go I have done a salt take before with just fish but its been years, freshwater tanks at this time are my real joy stock wise.
I already have a few tanks that I can upgrade to when I am ready to do so.
I am also going to buy some new fans, a new pump about 300gph, and see what I can do with it before I decide what I want to do in the future. Are the fans really needed at all? I plan on just buying some cheap conputer fans and if they get me 6 months to a year great they are 5.00 and one would probably be enough I would think.
Should a y loc line setup with 2 jets be enough flow variety or should I order a little power head? Or just leave one jet comming off the back wall
Also one of my freshwater tanks use to be a reef and im thinking of using that sand by removing it from the fresh tank(currently running as fresh) and putting it in here then adding live rock or should I really get new live sand?
Also will taking media from a freshwater tank speed up the cycle period in a saltwater tank by putting the media into the reef system?
Also do I really need ro water, all my tanks don't get filtered water at all, our water here is great my fish get it 24/7 and love it.
Also do you recommend buying live rock from someone around here or KSL or what store is the best price for product.
Thanks all for any advice or tips
