Hello all! I am new to the forums and this is my first post. I have a new Waterbox Eden 60 gallon setup that I was going to use as a freshwater tank, but I am now thinking of doing a macroalgae saltwater tank. While there has been no water yet added, it does have an Oase Biomaster Thermo canister filter installed holding sponges, Seachem Matrix, and Seachem Purigen. It also includes the Waterbox FLED freshwater full spectrum light, which I understand is best for macroalgae. Plus, I do have about 1.5" to 2" (50lbs) of AquaQuartz pool filter sand in the tank.
One thing I was thinking of doing is adding a bag of Caribsea Fiji Pink on top of the pool filter sand, then I have 55lbs of Pukani live rock to be added.
So being brand new to saltwater, I am wondering if this is even possible. Am I being realistic or are there things I am missing? Anything in this setup I should add or take away/replace? Any suggestions?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
