Ive done mass amounts of research on salt water tanks, been wanting one for years but there to expensive.
So Now in the present they aren't to expensive, for me. And I have that spare 75G which I thought I was going to keep discus in...
So now im thinking of making that 75G into a saltwater tank rather than a discus pair tank. Now like I said ive done mass amounts of research on how to start and maintain a saltwater tank, but advice and extra help doesn't hurt.
So here's what I know so far (or the less detailed parts)
65G+ aquarium size for beginners (but not over 100G)
Marine Salt needed
Mechanical filter (optional), I was thinking of using a canister filter for this? is that ok?
Sump (10-20 gallon tank ok?)
Crushed coral sub. (optional) so if I have an only invert. (and some clown fish) aquarium will a small amount be ok? like 1 1/2 - 2 inches?
Live rock
What else? anyone know, im sure I read on more stuff I need but I cant remember them....
Protein skimmer (do I need this?)
