SRC Member james72 Posted January 13, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi guys, I'm intending to start out a marine reef tank. But dont wan to spend too much first cos donno interest will last or not. So have decided to start out with watever equipments I can gather at cheap rates and try it out. Have custom make a $50 2ft sump though, rest of the items needed:- p/s: Pls advise where can buy all below items at reasonable price? Main Tank - 2.5ft - 3ft with overflow Stand or cabinet - 2.5ft - 3ft with hood Weipro 2011 or 2012 skimmer - heard good news abt them Grade #0 and #1 sand - Anyone knows where to get them new? The best is 2ndhand sand lah, can help in speeding up on my recycling process. Pumps and powerhead - as long as powerful enuff to pump up from the sump to a 3ft height will do liao. Ammonia,Nitrite,Nitrate,Calcium....etc test kit Marine salt Ph , & temperature gauge Hydrometer Lights - for 2.5ft depth reef use - intending to keep corals Pls feel free to sms or contact me with equipment description and price.

SRC Member Tanggy Posted January 13, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted January 13, 2004 think carefully about your height of the tank. Cos you wish to start low cost. but in order to successfully keep coral at such a depth, lighting wont be cheap. at least T5 or if use MH you will need to get chiller and in turn increase startup cost. Why not go for depth instead of height. a good depth will look very good and easy to scape. Would recommend a 3x2x2 instead of a 3x2x2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
