I have been obsessed with saltwater/ marine fish for as long as I can remember... but I had no experience in fish keeping so I went and purchased a freshwater setup to get some experience . After about a year and a half of my fresh water tank I've decided to move up to a saltwater reef setup and I want to do it right the first time.
Over the holidays I've purchased some of the equipment for the setup. To date I have purchsed:
125Gallon All-Glass Tank w/overflows (72"x18"x22")
Overflow kits for tank
All Glass 72"x18" Stand
Saline Solutions Made Sump w/ Refugium
Turbofloater Muti Protein skimmer http://www.bigalsonline.ca/StoreCat...h_pump?&query=turbofloater&queryType=0&offset=
Eheim 250W heater
2x 1200GPH KORALIA
Instant Ocean Hydrometer
Reef Master Test Kit
Coralife Digital Thermometer
Marineland 20Gallon Deluxe Bio-Wheel Aquarium Kit (Quarantine Tank)
120 Lbs of Substrate http://www.bigalsonline.ca/BigAlsCA/ctl3664/cp17368/si1316433/cl0/caribseareefsand40lbs
2x Instant Ocean 160Gallon Salt Mix Bucket
Some Items That I Know I Still Need And Plan On Purchasing:
RO + DI Water Purification Unit
Coralife Turbo Sea 1100P Retern Pump
72" Coralife Aqualight Pro http://www.bigalsonline.ca/BigAlsCA/ctl3664/cp17947/si1315929/cl0/coralifeaqualightpro72250watthqi
Approx 200 LBS of Live Rock
Some Items I Was Unsure About And Would Like Peoples Opinion On Is:
Calcium Reactor
Wavemaker
Ozonizer
UV Sterilizer
Now I know My Tank Is Still A Fair Time Away From Being Setup Mainly Because Of Financials I Estimate Mid July Before I Actually Begin Setup. Even Though It Is Still A While Away I Have Began Looking Into Stocking Possibilities...
So Far This Is What I Have Come Up With.... But Most Likely It Will Change
Pair Of Maroon Clownfish w/ Rose Tip Bubble Anemone
Pair Of Green Mandarin Fish
Neon Goby
Royal Gramma
I would Also Like Some Tangs In The Tank Here Are Some Spcies I Like
Yellow
Regal (Dory)
Yellow-Tail/Purple
Naso
Orange Shoulder
Powder Blue
Powder Brown
White Face
Achilles
Black
This Is Just Some Fish I Like That I Wouldn't Mind Having In The Tank
Banggal Cardinalfish
Anthias
Long-Nose Butterflyfish
Blenny
Lemon Goby
Yellow Prawn Goby
Firefish
Moorish Idol
Laboutei Fairy Wrasse
Regal Angel (Red Sea)
Bellus Angel (Female)
Anglerfish
Leaf Scorpionfish
Now I'm Not Very Certain About The Inverts That Will Be Going In The Tank But I Would Atleast Like
Brittle Star
Fire Shrimp
Cleaner Shrimp
Crocea Clam
Maximca Clam
But Probably A LOT more.
Now I Have Looked Into Some Corals I would Like In The Reef But For Now I'll Just Say It Is A Mixed Reef...
Now I'm Looking For Comments, Sujestions, Advice, Questions, etc....
Really Looking Forward To Peoples Responces
