So had a freshwater Angelfish tank, turtle tank, and a blood parrot tank. Finally graduated college got a good job and now have the funds to get a saltwater tank! So I went with this AIO setup...
Pulled the trigger on a Innovative Marine Nuvo 38 Gallon Reef Kit. Just got done setting up the stand, tank, light, powerheads, and heater.
Tank contains:
30 lbs Nature's Ocean Live Sand
35 lbs of live rock from LFS
35 gallons of Petco premixed saltwater
150 watt Aqueon Pro Heater
2 sets of mechanical sponge, activated sponge and phosphate sponge
2 - 500 gph Aqueon circulation pumps
Day 2 water testing results:
Calcium: 440 mg/l
KH: 9 dkh
Phosphate: 0.25 ppm
Nitrate: 0 ppm
Salinity: 1.024
Realized I don't have an ammonia test...
Purchased but not in tank:
IM AquaGadget SkimMate Protein Skimmer
IM MiniMax Reactor
BRF Plus 5-Stage RODI System
Tunze Osmolator 3155 Auto Top Off System
ANY SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!
