[Nammy]

[regalangelreef]

thanks, do u think im gonna have to mod the tunze9002 for it to fit

[burtbollinger]

branch rock not good as main rock....too dense...you need non branch rock as your main rock....all else sounds awesome....

[regalangelreef]

what a should i get then figi?

and also should i return the tunze 9002 for the neweuro reef?

thanks

[manhorsedog]

did you get the fancy branch rock?

[Delsfishes]

Congrats on your solana

I have one also. Your going to have fun with it , as far as live rock its your prefrence some people like plat forms(flat haitian rock) some like the branchy look and other like the bulk look they all look good. I have a fuge hung on mine and its mainly a sps system.

new euro reef has zero feedback one was or another.

if tunze fits, youre good

congratz on your new setup...what do you plan to stock it with?

[regalangelreef]

thanks im not sure what my list is gonna be but im hoping to have some really rare fish in there and im gonna take it really slow. i didnt buy the skimmer yet but i dont feel like modding and possibly breaking it so i think i might try the euro reef nano instead of the tunze 9002. im really confused with what rock to put in their. say if i put vanuatu not cured can i cure it in the tank? can the nano skimmer handle it?

thanks

Get the Sapphire Aquatics skimmer.

thanks thats perfect

honestly if you can, try to hand pick the rock from a place that is local. It is worth the extra money.

Id look for "Marshall Islands" rock if I were you. Marshall is very porous, and comes in many variations of size and shape. The BEST rock IMO.

Good luck! Post some pics once up and running!

PS - IMO you should go with the TUNZE 9002. I have seen solana's with them so I know they fit. Its an awesome skimmer!!! I love mine!

+1 on the marshall island rocks. a bit pricey but i think the look it provides with worth it.

Congrats!! I have had my 30 gallon up and running for 3 months +. My gf and I love it!!!
