Hello I have a fluval Roma 240 currently used as a tropical tank. I'd love to change this to marine but I'm not entirely sure of the best equipment to use/changes to make. Has anyone done with this tank or a similar tank and can give any advice please?
I had a go at marine before but found the sump on the second hand tank I bought to be very loud and my autistic partner couldn't deal with it especially with the ATO beeping in the middle of the night too.
I'd like to continue to use a canister filter, I currently have the fluval 407 and am thinking of changing to a fluval fx4, would this be a good choice or is there a better filter?
I also want to keep the hood on to minimise the evaporation and am thinking of changing from the aquasky to the fluval sea marine 46W, would this be adequate for softies and possibly a few LPS?
I have still got the rock from the old tank in the garage, dry. Could I clean this and use it?
I'm also wondering if I can clean the sand currently in the tropical tank and use that as the base underneath some finer aragonite? I'd like to get another peacock wrasse so I need deep sand but it's expensive stuff.
Sorry for all the questions and thank you if you read this far.
