Well, when I was a kid I had a salt water fish tank for some time so I recently decided I wanted to give it a shot for myself.
Equipment:
Coralife Boicube 29 gallon
Coralife stand
Hydor Slim Skim nano
Koralia 425 power head
Fluval M150 heater
20 pounds of Fiji Pink live sand
A little over 20 pounds of cured live rock
Around 20 gallons of pre-mixed water from LFS
InTank Media basket (currently being shipped)
Here are some pics:
Both actinic and 10,000k (much whiter in person)
The chamber setup
The skimmer is on the second divider facing the first chamber. It came with some suction cups for the wiring that I used to stick the air line on the back lid instead of it being stuck in the top of the skimmer. I felt like it would get more fresh air this way. The skimmer itself fits perfectly with a bit of room to spare. The cup can lift out of the back lid and most likely the entire skimmer could too. I'm going to put the media basket right in front of it.
I'm basically done cycling just gotta check the levels one or two times. And probably do a water change.
I'm gonna do fish, a couple easy coral and of course some inverts.
