How do u think of tunze reefpack 250? Planning to use this setup with 1.5ft bare tank without sump. Do u think it's ok?

Lazy to keep changing water and with intention to upgrade to 1.5ft tank. That's why I wanna know which skimmer is better so that I do not need to buy again. hehe

sorry to hack into this thread. How is redsea prizm protein skimmer and tunze 9004 doc skimmer?

anyone around to advise?

Hi all, got an idea but dun know if it's possible? Can I get granular activated carbon and ion exchange resin (put separate filter bag) and put inside canister filter and run the water in a pail of tap water before putting inside my tank. Is this method ok as I yet to try. Reason for trying: got spare canister filter lying around and dun wan to waste money getting di unit. And is. This method cheaper as only need to get resin and carbon. No more budget... Kanna poison already.

Am I right to say that the nano di unit that madpetz using will exhaust fast also? Cause basically it's the same conceptq.

Hi all expert!!! Got question required answering again. Given a choice, which skimmer will u choose and why? Redsea prizm protein skimmer vs tunze 9004 DOC skimmer? Current setup up 25x25x30, possible upgrade to max 2ft tank without sump else will be either 1ft or 1.5ft. Dun know which of this is suitable? Please advise.

Thanks for the advise!!! Will go for full spectrum!!

Per blub can cover how much length? Even at a height of 2ft? Wat will happen if I use 3w2b or full spectrum? Whats the main difference?

What's the depth that the light can reach? How to know when to use 15w(3w X 5led) and 24w(3w X 12led)? How to define how many watt to use? Any standard?

Hi Can someone help me to post these items to the sell to fund my marine nano tank. Thanks!!!

Full spectrum as in wat type of breakdown of LED?

Hi all, can someone advise on the type of par38 led light that is suitable for which type of tank? Example:how many watt per bulb and type of colour. (maybe 3watt/LED 2white&3blue total 5 LED suitable for 2ft tank?) And full spectrum meaning wat? Any LED expert can advise?

Dun have so much spaces. Think can only go for one. Which is consider the most important?

Hi all!!! Got my nano tank from someone friendly here!!! It's a 25x25x30 tank with ios. Will be keeping some zoas as a start. Can someone advise me wat filter median to put in Iso? Having live rock and Sand now.

Thanks all reply!!!! Btw I am intending to try out this setup first before I go into the open sea... Dun wan to go into big setup first. Let me do a quick summary. I wan a Tank with Coral, Fish & Rock. 1) Tank ( No problem) 2) Filter? ( Using Hang over filter, does Hang over filter comes with built in skimmer? Possible to DIY?) 3) Skimmer? ( As above, side track a bit, if I go into 2ft tank, still possible to go without sump? Dun like to have a sump) 4) Lights? ( Using LED light with adjustable arm, dun wan T5 / FL lights. Understand Par38 is overkill, but the option to upgrade and reuse the light is higher. Par38 light can use till 2ft? ) 5) Sump? ( Not using it, but if 2ft tank, possible to go without it? Purpose of Sump = Mechanical filter + Skimmer + Bio Bacteria + better piping management on the tank? ) 6) Filter Media? ( Using Bio home, without any filter wood? Possible? Where will all the waste go to? ) 7) Fan? ( Using Air-con, Temp should be around 25C.) 8) Test Kit? ( Any brand also can, Need to get all test kit?) 9) Wave maker? ( Think will go without it, see how it goes ) 10 & 11) Live Rock & Sand? ( Should be getting live rock only ) 12) Marine Salt? ( Think quite standard, just get any available) 13) Others? New Question 1) Filter = Does the Hang On Filter act as mechanical or Bio Filter? 2) Lighting = How to know which is enough? I wan a LED light set that can allow me to upgrade to 2ft. Possible to DIY? 3) Sump = Is it necessary? What will happen if I do without it? 4) Skimmer = Is it necessary? What will happen if I do without it? Am I on the right track? Please guide me, dun let me go the wrong way. haha

What type of lighting would be better? Filter just fill up with biohome?

Will a 30x20x20 tank be better? I am looking to keep a pair of crown fish. Which type of HOB filter would be recommended? Btw tank will ether be in the office or bedroom.

Thanks for the quick respond and offers.. But can someone advice on the equipment required? As in more specific? Kind of lost. So many products in the market. That's why asking for recommendations. Dun know which way to go. Or anyone hse available for coaching? Tea and refreshment on me. Haha

Hi all, Newbie here!!! Planning to setup a mini marine tank with FOWLR and some hardy coral. Tank size is abt 20x20x20cm(Know its tough, but my table is small). Looking to keep 2 small fishes(Clown Fish) with shrimp. Can someone guide me along with the type of equipment and dosing required. (Note : Budget abt $200 including Live Stock/ Rock/Sand, everything required and test kit) 1) Tank( Already had!) 2) Filter? Is Hang-On filter enough? Which type is ok? Brand? 3) Skimmer? Is it required? 4) Lights? Is Par38 cost high? Looking at LED light. looking at table top lights with adjustable arm. Any other brand to recommend? Cost? 5) Sump? No place for it. Any other options? 6) Filter Media? Please recommend, dun wan to be high maintenance ( Can last long time ) 7) Fan? Using air con in office / bedroom (Is it suitable to keep in bedroom?) 8) Test Kits? Please recommend type and brand and price. 9) Wave maker? Can I use a bigger size HOF to create the flow? else can recommend? 10) Live Rock? Where can I get? How much should I get? Planning to scape a centre piece with hole in the centre so that the fish can hide and swim across. 11) Live Sand? Where can I get? How much should I get? Is it required as I using Live Rock? 12) Marine Salt? Which type is recommend? Dun understand also. 13) Others? ( Let me know what I miss out, Would wan a complete system that can be used and easy maintenance) Please try to advice in the most laymen term. I wish to try out this hobby that's why go small and see how it goes before I jump into the ship. Please let me know where I can get the items from as well. Wont mind second-handed items as well. Would be best if someone can sell me the entire setup + Coaching + teaching as well. haha Thanks In ADVANCE!!! (Ps : Max size tank I can use is abt 30cm)
