Have decided to get a 2ft cube tank with sump tank instead. will go for protein skimmer (Bubble Magus BM Curve 5 or 7) - is this ok? For a 2ft cube tank, is it still too small for a couple of tangs? For lights, i would go with a 2ft T5 from my friend for the time being and maybe as time goes by, might change to better ones.

Hi All, I'm starting a new marine tank and thus i would need to get more filter medias. Anyone have spares to sell give or half sell half give? Would appreciate your reply. You could reach me at 974five621four for faster deal.

thanks all for the advices... will do more research and studying first. Appreciated....

can those eheim surface extractor or surface skimmer do the job?

My tank is ANS opticube. As for the skimmers you mentioned, do they work as a filter too? Is it possible to not hang on the tank itself and as a standalone inside my cabinet?

Hi All, I am new to the marine tanks though i have read up on forums. Currently i have a planted FW tank and i am doing research on a marine tank setup but as i have some budget constraints thus i would need the friends here advices. Aim: To plan and create a FOWLR + some LPS to brighten up if possible Some information below:- - 2ft tank (60(L) x 30(W) x 36(H) x 6(thick) - in cm - Canister filter with lily pipe (Eheim Pro ECCO 300) As i do not have space for sump, is it ok to use a canister filter? Can i still use back the lily pipe inflow and outflow in marine tanks? For my tank size, what would be the appropriate flowrate that i should achieve? is it the same as for a planted as in 8-10 times of the vol of tank? - Substrate would be live sand to reduce amount of silicates. correct me if i'm wrong. - Mixture of live rocks and man-made rocks please advise is it ok to use both? - 2-4 clown fish species and 2-4 tangs species will such numbers be overcrowding? - LPS can advise on more hardy LPS as i would not be using chiller or fan. Tank temp would be as per ambient which would be around 30deg. - Wave maker What size of a wave maker would be good enough? any brands to recommend? cheap and good pls. - LED lights Any advise on brands of light and indication of watt? cheap and good pls. - Not intending to get protein skimmer as too bulky and i am without sump. I would appreciate your advices... Cheers
