Hello all I am new to SW keeping I've been a FW keeper for 25 ys. I am looking to turn my 30 gallon into a Nano reef. I would love to go larger cause I know that means more stable but I do not have the space at the current time. I plan on doing 20% water changes weekly and testing daily. And top offs until I can get a ATO system. My 30 gallon is on my 150 yr old chest of drawers in my room( still has Kribnesis in it that are being sold on Ebay) and I have Betta tanks ranging from 1 gallon to 12 gallons on a wire rack system in my wash room.
Here is what I have so far for the tank
30 gallon tank
Seachum PRIME
150 w glass heater
Digital Thermometer
Glass Thermometer
Here is the stuff on my to buy list
3 power heads
4 20 lb bags of LS(I want to have a DSB(I have done my research))
15 lb LR and 30 lb DR
API Masters Reef Test Kit
Light ( Was looking at this one Coralife Saltwater Double Aqua T5 Strip)
Lid( Glass, eggcrate, or acrylic ? )
20 L tank for DIY 4 chamber sump (Which is better acrylic or glass for buffers)
PVC for DIY overflow and return
return pump(Looking at this one Deep Blue Triton 3 Water Pump)
protein skimmer (Looking at this one Won CU 125 Protein Skimmer)
Supplies for DIY Cinder Block stand
So I would really like some help with my set up if you guys/girls have anything you think you know of or sites that can help me find the stuff I will need. I would be very honored :bigsmile:.
