Hi, currently, I have a 1 feet GEX Genoah Shape S tank (31X17X18.5cm, 7.5L).
My current filtration system is as follows:
Prefilter is eden 501 with 1/2 part of sponge media and the other 1/2 seachem purigen. Main filter is eheim 2233, with tray 1, 2 pc coarse sponge media, tray 2, seachem denitrate and tray 3, seachem matrix. Post filter is eheim 2211 filled to brim with seachem matrix and 1 pc coarse sponge media. All canisters are impeller-less and driven by an eheim 1250 (1200l/h).
As for lighting, I am running a 24 pc white-blue led lightset rated at 3-6W (those china brand that's made in china). I have ordered a eshine 4G 24X3W Cree (90 deg) with dimmer at the BO.
May I ask what can I keep and what else do I need (like skimmer, chiller, etc) I am trying to restrain myself from getting a chiller. I do intend to upgrade to 2 ft, however, at the same time, I have the urge to remain at 1 ft. I believe that with the eshine led, my 1ft tank will have literally no hotspots.
