Fish Fanatic
Right i have been keeping freshwater tropicals for nearly 9 years, and have kept various harder to keep fish successfully, so finally i think it is about time i got a marine tank.
This is my plan.
I am hoping to get a 240L Fluval Roma aquarium, this includes the fluval 305 external filter and a heater, which i will use. I will be swapping the bulbs included for some more beneficial marine and coral bulbs, but i have forgotten the name. Other things i plan to get are a protein skimmer and 2 power heads. I will need a substrate of sand and some live rock.
I also have decided to use a bit less live rock than normal, and then use other rock to fill up the gaps as i am not the richest prson in the world and live rock is expensive!
I am wanting a reef system. but i have a few questions
1) are there any protein skimmer availiable in the UK, which you place in the aquarium cabinet and have pipes going into the tank, as i don't like the hangon ones, and they don't fit in the space in my house?
2) Where should i place the power heads?
3)How much live rock would i need?
Oh and i have an idea for the fish, but i shall talk about that later
