Hi all, have been considering for sometime starting a marine aquarium! but all the shops i visit give me a huge list of items i need which amount to some £600 - £1000!!!!!!!
I have a 48"*18"*15, which i would like to set as a marine initialy i would be looking at keeping a pair of clowns, to get the feel of things and see if it is for me!
Would this be okay and what's the minimum i need to set up a marine tank, i dont want to go all out and spend a fortune only to find its not for me(doubt it very much) but just in case.
Adrinal, many thanxs that is fantastice....will now set to work on wife to allow me the cash to do it...i have any amount of tanks so a quick question would a tank the same size make a better filter than say tank of 3ft....yes i have lights powerheads filters external and internal any good? i already have heaters and can get hold of living sand easy enough.....what sort of return pump would you reccomend?
Again many thanx for the info and i will invest in IO salt and have already been looking at RO units triple pod....they would cost me around £160 @ $320 or there abouts.
Sorry my wife she say YES......wooohooo. Ok i have a 48" * 18" * 15" and a 4ft divided into three originally used for fry, if i take out the partitions make them smaller then replace them so that water flows over the first and under the next into a small holding chamber then back to the tank would this be okay i'm currently looking at an air driven skimmer?
Next i have a lot of internal filters could i use them to create water movement?
or could i use the divided 4ft as a three chamber filter then drop from there into a 3 or 4ft refugeum sump then back to tank would this work.....as i say i have quite a few different sized tanks lying around i could use from 2ft to 4ft....if it goes well my ideal would be a 6*2*2 reef tank.
