Hi all!
I recently impulsively bought 2 fluval flex's (9 gallon) and just found out they would be too small for the fish I wanted to have (Ocellaris).
So, I finally settled on the tank I'm going to get (flex 32.5 gal)- but do not know what equipment I should use.
Can anyone experienced with this tank or saltwater aquariums in general help me make a list of the products I will need?
For context:
-I have no experience
-I don't really have a budget

I have this tank. Its capable out of the box but the upgrades make it way better

I upgraded the skimmer to an Ice Kap Nano
I upgraded the return pump to syncra SDC
My Light is a radion xr-15 G6
I have intank media baskets
I use a random flow generator nozzle
I have 2 wave makers on either side.

I will say it took about a year and a half for everything to become stable, but now my tank is doing great.

Good luck!
