Hi all
I have a pair of trigon 190's at eather end of the living room. Both were tropical tanks one community and one discus/angel. I've managed to slowly empty the community tank.
Having been keeping tropicals for about 15 years I'd like to start on my first marine tank and since I have this empty trigon and it matches my other tank I'd like convert it. I'm thinking of going for a FOWLR for now with a little cleaning crew etc. I've been doing my home work but I still have a few questions.
1) is the compact H filter fitted in the tank upto the job of basic filtration (obviously adding a skimmer and the live sand/rock)?
2) What skimmer would be suitable? Hang-on's are probably out due to the fixed lid.
3) The light system is pretty much built in and will house 2 tubes easily sufficient for any tropical tank but would this be enough for the marines? Or do I need to come up with some masterplan to mod it?
All suggestions/comments greatfully recieved.
