Hi,
well hopefully I am taking the plunge and getting a Rena Aqualife 100 corner tank which I plan to convert to marine. I realise this will cost a lot more than buying a plug and play set-up but I want something unique and it will match by Aqualife 100 cube in the same room. This will be my first marine tank and I am looking for a bit of guidance as to what additional hardware I will need? I will do away with the filter media and replace it with live rock rubble, the tank comes with a Rena smartheater which I will be using and T5 lighting. I imagine I will need a coupoe of powerheads and a skimmer? I was thinking about the TMC nano skimmer but all suggestions are welcome. Is there anything else I need? Is a UV sterilizer mandatory? As I have read mixed reviews about them. Finally, can anyone recommend a good nano reef book?
Thanks in advance
