New setup

[yozzer]

I have kept freshwater fish for many years and finally decided to convert to marine.

It is now 6 weeks since I converted my tank (4ft x 18" x 18") I know the tank is not perfect dimensions but wanted to start of without breaking the bank, and learn how to manage marine.

Put in Dynax skimmer, FR, CL650 chiller. Live rocks purchased from reefer from this forum who was decommissioning. Also got damsel, during cycling from another kind reefer FOC. Finally put some corals and small Clownfish in today.

Anyway comments would be much appreciated!

Thanks ST. Hope that it is just as clear one I put more fish and corals in!! Lighting is currently just the PL lights from my original freshwater setup. 36W 2 blue

I need MH because tank is only 18" deep?

[fishtalk1517]

yup... agreed with S.T abt the lightings.... Wat other equipments u ahve ? eg.. skimmer, chiller, size of sump... etc....

This might helps us to know ur set up better Nice scape

[yozzer]

Dymax skimmer with 2500 ltr/hr pump. is generating huge quantity of Micro bubbles but not much waste yet as I have only just put livestock in. CL650 chiller ( was tempted to buy a used one as there are so many on sale but bought brand new). Phosban FR. My sump is quite small at 2ft 3" long with 3 chambers, so my skimmer and FR are out of sump and I have also put my chiller outside of the cabinet.

Lights are 36W PL but seem to be working well but I get your point about the MH.

Bro can show me sump if u don mind juz curious

[jervismun]

Are those giant clam shells?

[yozzer]

Not sure what type of shells they are! But I collected them from Koh Samui recently. There were hundreds of them washed up onto the beach every morning and I thought they would look good in the tank

[yozzer]

Took your advice and put in 2x150W MH lights.
