Hey y’all! So I just recently got into the hobby and got a 100g tank with a 50g sump! DT foot print is 72” x 18” x 18”.
My best friend who I got the tank from has 10+ years in the hobby and helped me set it up and get it cycling! The stand and tank needed some general TLC. I didn’t have anything special in the sump at this time but one thing I did decide to run is a canister filter on top of that but don’t know the actual advantages I have from it yet. The tank was sitting for about half a year. About 3 weeks later multiple hundreds of dollars thrown at it (the girl wasn’t too happy about that
) and it’s looking amazing so far!
added a new power head and I actually just ordered a second koralia gen 3 and I’m going to use the older one as a mixing head for my saltwater mixing station that I will be putting together while I’m stuck at home. I’ve purchased a reef octopus 150int and a new heater ( the one my buddy gave me crapped the bed just last night) I also purchased a controller for it!
my next investment for the tank will be new lights! I’m looking at T5 led hybrids for my tank and just waiting to pull the trigger! I’m getting my first set of fish once my LFS can sell livestock again! If you guys have any advice on my first tank set up please let me know!
