hello everyone. Just starting a thread on the tank i am planning on putting together. I want to start ordering and building my tank asap. So just want to get some opinions and ideas from anyone interested in giving me some! thanks! ill list a few things that i am interested in using. I want to do a SPS tank around 45 gallons with a few fish and so on. I would like to have a really managable tank but something pretty nice.
-looking @ the 45 gallon marineland cube aquarium-tank is only like $160.
stand?? not sure yet
-lights? i would love to go with some type of suspended LED fixture
but cost maybe too much on LED from what ive seen.
so maybe MH or something along those lines?
-skimmer- looking for the absolute best quality hangon back skimmer i can
find for the money- ive looked at deltecs-quite high dollar-so wanna go a step below that...
maybe like a super reef octopus HOB-they have a few that look nice-
*super reef octopus LX1000 S
2000S
or 1000S cone Hang on
* Eshopps PSK-75H OR 100H
OPEN to other suggestions as well, but i do NOT want to use a sump/refugium @ this time...so it must be hang on skimmer...
in tank flow-
*vortec mp40 w/controller
*tunze turbelle 6055 nano highflow pump
opinions- suggestions
Sooo lets just start there for now. I have lots of other ideas, but thats the main big equipment. So lay on the suggestions or ideas! Anything from tank opinion to the small stuff!
Thanks everyone!
