Hello. I made a post about a week ago and got good info on where to go to learn about setting up a Fowlr Tank. I have not bought anything yet, just looking for all info so I can get everything I need before going through the steps. I am going to post what what I learned and would like to know some things that I am still not sure about. After I get all of this dialed in I will make a new post about fish and clean up crew.
This is what I have on my list so far.
45 Gal Red Sea E-170 Tank/Stand
Lighting (comes with Tank)
Protein Skimmer (comes with Tank)
Thick Super Glue x2
20 Lb Special Grade Arag-Alive Reef Sand
RO/DI Water system
Brute Trash Cans
200W Titanium Heater System
Classic Sea Salt Mix - Tropic Marin
One & Only Saltwater Live Nitrifying Bacteria - Dr Tims
Red Sea Ammonia Test Kit
Salifert Nitrate Aquarium Test Kit
24" Aquablade Glass Scraper
Piranha Float Plus
1" Pro-clean Small Tall Gravel Wash
4x8 BRS Mesh Media Bag with Drawstring
Bulk Premium ROX 0.8 Aquarium Carbon
Q1 - I am going to use Dry Live Rock and Live Sand. For the red sea E170 (37 gal display tank) how much foundation rock should I get? they have small, med, large sizes and how much regular should I get? I want to make a nice amount of caves and hiding spots.
Q2 - What kind of powerheads do I need for a FOWLR tank this size?
Q3 - Anything that I would need that I dont have on my list? Anything I dont need?
Thank you all in advance. I truly appreciate it.
Ritchie
