Dreams Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I've recently ordered a 3ft tank x1.5 and it comes with 3 lighting and 1 top filter. This tank is basically for marine fishes like clown fish and seahorse and some live corals. I know that skimmer is a must for the tank. What else should i get? Should i get a canister filter or sump etc? Where can I purchase a deltec skimmer in lfs ? Please advise  Aim and achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member liquidnoise Posted August 13, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted August 13, 2013 So far, I have not seen any marine tank with top box. Sea horse is very hard to keep so u sure u wanna try? for corals u need chiller. From the looks u are going to budget so maybe just fishes will be fine. Corals maybe mushroons only... There are external skimmer which you may like to consider. FYI, seafood resturants also use skimmers for their live seafood tank. so wat do you think? do you need a skimmer? There is Weipro, jebo (i am using), etc etc... if budget is a constraint. But for me Jebo has proven to work very well. another reefer here say Weipro is proven for him.

kraken Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 seahorses are only for the hands of the very experienced, please do not try to keep seahorses considering you r fairly new to marine life keeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
