Is my setup ok?

[curahee]

Newbie here,

i juz setup a 60 L reef nano with juz live rock, live sand, wave maker for current and a protein skimmer, will such system work? or do i need to add a cannister filter?

My tank fully cycled but haven't add any fish yet, i intend to add a clown, cardinal, yellow fin damsel, and a goby, is these fishes ok?

Thanks for everyone help!

U dun have to on ur skimmer/lights when u are cycling. Go get ur testkits (ammonia,nitrite,nitrate) to see if ur ammonia is detetable. Throw in a market prawn and let it rot to kick the off cycling. Cannister is not really recommended in marine environment. Ppl usually use sump.

Noted. Anyway all reading zero. For a nano tank like mine dun have the luxury to have a sump, so if i dun add any other filteration like what u mention a sump, my existing setup is it ok?

Hi curahee,

You'd want to have some kind of mechanical filtration to remove larger size detritus. For your size tank, maybe u can consider a HOB filter.
