Hey guys! I'm finally taking the plunge into a salt tank after many years in the freshwater hobby, so I thought I'd make a thread with my setup and see where it goes.
I plan to start out as a FOWLR and maybe down the road move on to a reef tank.
The setup is a standard 55 gallon (4ft) tank.
Equipment:
Skimmer: Reef Octopus 100F HOB skimmer (I went with the HOB since I really have nowhere to put a sump at the moment)
Circulation: 2 Maxi-Jet 1200's (should I get a 3rd?)
Substrate: 40 lb's live sand
Live Rock: About 60lbs
Lighting: Standard Fluorescent's that came with the tank (obviously I will upgrade before going reef), these should be fine until then though right?
Thinking about getting a UV Sterilizer when I start adding fish, any recommendations?
Once it's cycled I plan to stock it with:
2 Maroon Clowns
1 Flame Angel
1 Blue Mandarin Goby
1 6 Line Wrasse
1 Royal Gramma
Does that seem like a decent stock list?
