Hi guys,
I have a 2g pico tank running and thinking of upgrading, I am very inspired by all the nice reefers shallow tank here in the forum, some have really amazing shallow tanks.
I need some advise on the equipment etc. Want to start a mixed reef, with sps. I am on a tight budget.
Here is my proposed tank build with sump, the display tank is about 37L and the sump will be also about 40L not including the FW reservoir. DP will be glass, Sump will be using old acrylic tank to convert.
First question is my sump too big? Second where should my chiller pump be? Third I have a tubby ATO where should i place the float switch?
Equpiment list
Light: E.Shine Aqua Beauty 70W LED Light ($350)
Skimmer: Probably a 100L skimmer (Any recommended brands?)
Chiller: Hailea 100A (bought for $170, 6mths old)
Chiller pump: around 600L/hr (Any recommended brands?)
Return pump (How big should this be?)
Current PAR 38 3B 2W for refuge
Will be using Current nano tank water pump as a wave maker 1 220l/hr and 300l/hr (Enough?)
Am I missing out any equipment?
Will have DSB and LR with chaeto for refuge, maybe some pods
Should I get any type reactors? What else should I take note of for keeping SPS?
All advise is greatly appreciated
