Hello, I am new to the saltwater world and would like to ask a few questions. I want to start up a saltwater tank, reef if I can, using a 40 gallon breeder I have laying around. My main goal is to filter it using HOB filters, water pumps, and live rock/sand. I have seen multiple YouTubers do this for a 40 gallon but want to ask others before doing so. They’ve used the filter but added in other stuff like certain bio media and used pumps. What items are ABSOLUTELY necessary for a saltwater/reef tank? Could I use a HOB filter, a water pump, live rock, live sand, and be done?
