Well this is probably the best place to start and keep myself accountable. As of 3 weeks ago I had absolutely no knowledge of saltwater tanks, but after some spousal negotiation and some encouragement from my young children I am embarking on my journey in the saltwater tank hobby.
I think I want to grow all the corals, and my plan is to keep a moderately small amount of fish (8?). Either way, the tank has been delivered and nearly set up.
Known equipment list so far sits as follows (Updating as more items are decided and purchased):
DT/Sump: Marine X 110.4 tank package
ATO: Tunze 3155
Return Pump: VarioS-4
Skimmer: RO Regal 150 INT
Power heads: MP40QD
RO/DI: BRS 5 Stage PP 75 GPD
Rock: 80lb Marco Rock
Sand: 40lb Caribsea Special Grade
Lighting: (2) Ecotech Radion XR30 G6 Pro w/ RMS
Controller: Neptune A3 Apex Pro
This will be a fun endeavor to teach both myself and my children the lesson of patience. They’re ready to go to the fish store tomorrow.
