Thanks for that I'll check some good forum for UK, Anyway I found a bit diffucult to get some products here, for example the Tank there is only one official retailer, and the same for the lights I want ( Orbit Marine), or the heater I was thinking about the cobalt... you guys have the good staff in US xDWELCOME!
I also recommend you find a group that's local to your area, they're usually great sources of used equipment and of frags
I'll try to don't panic to much xD
What do your plan to keep in that tank? A lot of people find they need to upgrade from the orbit light when they get stony corals (LPS & SPS)
Yeahhh!!! Definetly I will, as soon I got the tank with me hopefully next week I'll start the post with weekly updates. Where about in UK @Pennywise the Clown
Sorry, I'm about 250 miles north of you on the Wirral. I struggle to find any decent lfs myself.
Well @burningbaal, as Newbie, I don't want to start with coral straight away(basically bc I don't know nothing about it), I was think to start just with fishs and progressively add easy corals.
Sounds like a pretty good plan. That light will obviously be fine for fish, and for a lot of soft corals as well. There are even some stony corals that don't need much light, you'd just have to be careful about which one you choose and where you put it. Don't be too afraid of soft corals though, many of them can tolerate fish-only conditions. My first reef was inherited from an acquaintance who...wasn't very thorough. It had massive amounts of nutrients (like >50 NO3 and >1 PO4), wasn't ever tested for Ca/dKH/Mg, and had silica sand and a freshwater-designed T8 light fixture (one 4ft bulb in a 55g standard tank)...all big no-no's for careful reef keepers. All that, and he still had a couple soft corals that were doing okay in there. Maybe not thriving, but they were okay.
Glad your here,comrade
