Hi All,
I'm a newbie with a tank of ranchus and recently been lured by the salty side of reef tanks...
Intend to shift my ranchus to the bottom tier and use the top tier of my 2-tier 3ft rack to setup a 3ft reef tank.
Intention:
- some corals/fishes for beginner,
Some limitations:
1) sumpless
2) max 3ft (L) x 1.5ft ( x 1.5ft or more (H)
3) no chiller
Qns:
1) getting a 10mm glass tank as my current tank is only 6mm. Is this a good buy?

2) which HOB skimmer would you recommend?
3) for 3ft tank which lights (LED/T5) would you recommend?
4) Is Vortech Mp10 good for 3ft tank?
5) Eventually I will love to have a Achilles Tang. Is there some pre-requites for the setting up of the tank?
6) What other equipment do i need?
Aiming to keep it under $1.5K. Is it realistic?
Thanks in advance ....
