oh believe me every pay day i am adding more live rock my main goal at this point is to stay simple i just want to keep building on my filtration system
-
so i have a 55 gallon tank that is fish only with a clown fish and a damsel in it at the moment. i currently have 20 pounds of live rock and i run two 55 gallon rated hang on filters but i want to upgrade the filtration system and a sump would be near impossible to fit under my tank. so my question is what is the next best way to go i plan on keeping it fish only and possibly an anemone(maby) since i am very new to saltwater what would be the next best filtration method after a sump

thank you all very much! from now on im going with RODI water only i just called around and there is a LFS in san marcos that is actually starting to sell RODI water in two weeks no more tap water for me! lesson learned

no worries no insult taken i know im a beginner in salt and im very prone to make some very rookie mistakes there are just somethings all of my books on saltwater keeping doesnt really cover in great detail.... it was a 5 gallon water change in a 55 gallon tank i plan on investing in a RODI unit as soon as i can .... as far as de-chlorination i did not de chlorinate the water since i had talked with a man who works at aquadome who said he had no issues with using tap water in his salt fish only tank

i am using oceanic salt and i had been using tap water with no issues but can i get away with using the ro water from the culligan machine at walmart the closest places i know of that sells ro water to me is 20 miles in any direction

the water change salinity was 1.022 and the water change temp was 78 degrees the tank runs at a steady 80 degrees the mix had been left mixing for 10 to 15 minutes this is the same process i had followed for every water change before i lost all fish it is a fish only tank except for the two very small cleaner crabs that survived as far as what test kit i am using it is an api saltwater marine test kit
