hi folks just bought a marine tank on wed night the tank itself is 4 foot by 15 by 21 and came with live rock and soft corals.
due to moving it i have filled it with fresh ro water and mixed the salt in it to bring the level up (had to do it in tank due to being the middle of night by time i got home) i have the temp at 72f but this is where it gets fun lol.
the tank when i got it was very very bad with green algea which i have washed off the glass surface but due to filling it the water has gone very mucky so have got a fluval 4 plus in it with new pads to try catch the worst of the grubby stuff in water.
i had in garage a brand new interpet daylight blue 36w t5 light unit so am using that at the moment till i deside exactly what lighting i am going to settle with is there anything i will need to do etc as am new to this
