Hey R2R,
Just wanted to make a quick post to introduce myself, and say hi from the Netherlands!
I have been a long time lurker on this forum, and have finally decided to get my first reef tank after trying to soak in as much information as I can.
I got a 22g ( 2*1.35*1.35 ) to start with, since my current situation does not allow to go much bigger, but the future is looking bright haha. Also got all of my other stuff (rock, sand, tests, salt, salinity meter, TDS meter, bacteria, RO/DI unit etc).
The only things I am missing to start cycling are a heater, a powerhead and a HOB filter. That's where (hopefully ) you guys come in.
I would like some advice on the following:
1. HOB filter - I was looking at the Fluval Tidal 55, but honestly have no idea what to get, or even what media to put inside.
2. Powerhead/wavemaker - Would something like Jecod SLW-20 be sufficient for my tank? Do I want two?
3. Heater - DoI get one with a external controller? And if so, could you please recommend some.
Happy to be here !!! Cheers!!!
