I'm thinking of getting an AI prime on my 15g cube. Think it'll be enough for higher par or do you think it'll be weak still
The depth difference between my Fijicube 10g and the IM15 is 1.75". It will be fine, just be mindful of your placement The SPS I had in there (Stylo's, Porc's and Green slimmer) had great growth, they were on a rack 6 inches from the top at the edge of the tank!

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the hobby - getting the tank for Christmas. I've had freshwater tanks in the past but never saltwater. I AM PUMPED! but getting overwhelmed...

Was hoping the community could review what I have thus far and if I'm missing anything (even the smallest items)? I want to upgrade over time but not opposed to doing some "core" things right the first time...
  • Evo 13.5
  • Fluval m50 heater
  • Instant Ocean Epoxy sticks
  • CaribSea South Seas Base Rocks
  • Esty 3D printed Chamber 1 basket
  • Esty 3D printed Chamber 2 basket w/ plug
  • + Laser cut media pads also from Etsy seller
Need to buy:
  • MarinePure Gems 90g
  • Chemipure original 10oz
  • CaribSea Fiji pink 20lb
  • Salifert pH
  • Salifert Ammonia
  • Salifert Nitrate
  • Salifert Phosphate
  • Salifert KH/ALK
  • AQUATICLIFE Water Filtration System (50g, 4 stage)
  • Instant Ocean Sea Salt
  • Coralife Hydrometer
  • Fritz PRO - Ammonium Chloride - 500gm
Am I missing anything crucial?

THANK YOU!

Good Dr. has spent way more $ and learnt way more than expected! I counted all the things I'm still using from my original posting and its only one (Instant Ocean Sea Salt)! lol

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
