Hey, I'm going to try to make my 29g FOWLR tank into a reef. This will mainly be for med light corals as the lights have are ok but nothing very good.
These are the lights- http://www.petmountain.com/show_product/512404/?utm_source=shoppingdotcom&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=515778
I have 2 clowns and a firefish as of now along with snails and hermits. Also I have a couple zoas but nothing special and they seem to be alright but over the last 4-5 months I havn't seen any growth or anything.
What are some things I need to do to make the change to a reef tank?
I don't have a sump so reactors and stuff like that are a no for me.
I was thinking of using kalkwasser- would that be a good idea. I know your suppossed to add it slowly- would I be able to use the tom aqualifter? First mix the kalkwasser with 1 or 2 gallons of RO/DI water and then pump it in for like 20 mins? Since it only pumps 3.5g/hr? Or would that be too fast in a 29g system?
What other things will I need to do to prepare for a change from FOWLR to reef???
Thanks alot!
