Gerber77![]() Fingerling Posts: 44 Votes: 0 Registered: 02-Feb-2005 ![]() ![]() | I have a 29 gallon tank I have just setup. I have 15 pounds of live rock. I am using a power filter and am also using an undergrvel filter. I am wondering if I would need a protein skimmer or if I will be ok without it. I am planning on doing two gallon water changes weekly. Any help would be great. Also I wouldn't mind some stocking suggestions. Thanks |

Okay not really, but they dont have the best role in this side of the hobby. You gotta keep up with the maint on them or else I think you'll see some ungodly levels during routine water testing... I vote small protein skimmer and ditch the other filters. ![]() Stocking! Oh boy...fun fun. ![]() Narrow down the possibilies a bit, and then I'd be more than willing to offer some suggestions. ![]() -Ferret -Formerly known as the Ferretfish ![]() |

I am planning on doing two gallon water changes weekly. You will most likely find that you will need to up the water change amount to 5 gallons weekly in order to keep up with nitrate, especially if you stock with more than a couple fish.....and more so if you keep the UGF with the crushed coral |
