hi guys ive been a tropical fish keeper coming on 4yrs now had 3 tanks in that time and various fish recently been keeping a cichlid tank however that tank is now gone.
i currently have a aquaone UFO550 set up andhave been toying with the idea of making this a nano reef for ages.its 100L corner tank with wet and dry trickle in hood.
few questions. one. should i or should i use the trickle filter built into the hood?
two. after reading up for months am i correct in sayin that as a filter all i would need is the correct amount of live rock and perhaps live sand?
three. what exactly do i do with the powerhead, is this just for water cirulation or is this connected to either a external/internal sponge filter?
four.what type of light to i need?
also my local Dobbies centre sells pre mixed salt water how much can i expect to pay fo r this?
five. what about protein skimmer, what exaclty is this and is it required for my set up?
PS i have read thousand of blogs and the facts on this site about startin up a tank and iam fully aware on how to cycle the tank and such like, i am just a little unsure about the above advice greatly appriecated!
