Such a nice clean job. you really did do your homework, (minus the heater!
) good idea on getting 2 smaller ones to put in your sump(eventually).
2 questions:
- are you planning on painting the back of your tank, or will you wait for coraline algae to cover it up?
- why are you buying water? I'd strongly suggest investing in an RODI unit.
Looking great! How are you planning on cycling the tank? and have you started looking into what you'll be putting in the tank ?
gday cheech
good to know im on the right track =]
yeah i was bummed about the heater, im ordering the new heaters next week..
i was planning on just filling it with coraline algae... unless this could potentially cause problems later on?
i was going to keep the front and side glasses kept really clean so i had a nice view also.
i am currently thinking of purchasing an RODI unit, but might not right now... and if i do i will probably continue to purchase NSW..
a couple of reasons.. first being
- saves the water bill rising at home which helps my parents out
- shop isnt too far away and gives me a reason to have a look/buy new corals or fish
- also buying the salt for the water, i am so caught up in how many different ones there are etc.
i do think i will purchase in time for top ups etc but not right now..
as for cycling the tank.. im getting cured live rock and a kilo or two of live sand from friends established tank..
and will probably just use the frozen prawns in the stocking trick...
as for stocking, i havent gone too much into this as of yet..
i did see an amazing tank on reef central i think it was..
it has SPS and softies which were so colourful and just looked stunning..
as for fish im also not sure but definately want a pair of clowns so will work around them i spose..
again thanks for the great feedback..
cheers
