Hi everyone,
This is my first forums in the reefing community so I will sum up my experience real quick. Since I was 10 years old I have had freshwater aquariums, I started my first saltwater tank 2 years ago and I would like to set up a 10 gallon Nuvo Fusion Aquarium from Innovative Marine.
What I already know what I want to buy :
Aquarium - 10 IM NUVO fusion
Rock - live rock from my existing tank
Sand - dry aragonite sand rinsed well in tap and final rinse in rodi
Light - Hipargero Aquarium LED Light
Filtration :
Protein skimmer - Biocube protein skimmer
Media - Chemi Pure blue and pond matrix from my existing tank
Custom caddy with 3 layers ( sponge, Chemi pure blue, and pond matrix)
What I would like to know :
Since I am not adding a power head, I would like to know a good replacement type of return pump that would fit in the third compartment or return. I would like to know what type of heater I should get ( one that is cheap in cost but reliable ) I would also like to know if even that I am going to be using chemipure blue, instead of using a protein skinner, should I get the mini max matrix media reactor?
This tank is going to be one for my rbta and 1 clownfish, I know rbta get very large and that is why I will replace it when it comes to that time.
Thank you for your help, Josh.
