Getting Back in the hobby !

[Ryan Rioux]

Getting back into the hobby after years out of it! Going to be picking up a Waterbox 20G AIO today with the stand . Looking for some recommendations on equipment to use or that’s recommended !

So far I believe I’m going to be using an AI Prime 16 Reef light and a Vortech MP10 wave maker . If anyone has recommendations on better products please let me know .

Also interested in what to use for pump , ATO , Heater , etc .

Going to be doing a fish less cycle with a Bacteria . Last time I cycled a tank fishless I used Instant Ocean Bio Spira and it worked great but can’t really find it anymore . Looking to see if there are other products people have found and used successfully .

Also any recommendations on which salt to use for making the saltwater .

Any recommendations or advice is greatly appreciated ! Thank youuuuu!

I always recommend getting a Tunze Osmolator for an ATO. They are the best ones around.
Fishless cycle, I would do Dr. Tim's one and only. It works quickly and will get your tank cycled!
Check this thread out for salt
This is also another good thread for heaters
