hello reefers!. newbie here planning to start nano reef for the first time after a few years of freshwater( planted , discus , flowerhorn )
have quite a few newbie questions.
currently planning for corals with fishes.
1st : what tank size is ideal ? im planning for a 45cm cube (~90L ? ) . is the height 45cm too tall ? how about the glass thickness ? is 5cm should be enough for braceless ?
2nd : im still undecided for the filtration. either HOB or ios. if i were to go ios , maybe the width will extend 10 cm more , making 45(L) x 55( x 45(H).
3rd : any good recommendation on skimmers ?
4th : was thinking of par 38. what do you think ?
feel free to recommend and suggestions will be asking more questions if im undecided please bear with me ..
