Hey peeps, I have been thinking about it for quite some time (and still am) but I am likely over the next few months going to start re-homing my current stock and making the switch to a SW tank.
Ideally i'd love to keep both but It just isn't doable with the space and money available, I will keep my betta tank though
Anyways, i have done a fair bit of research and just wanted to make sure that I am along the right lines before I start
So, since I will not be starting off with a reef tank, I think my fluorescent tubes are suitable?
Also, I have read that I can keep my substrate and use the same filter I currently have? (Tetratec ex1200) would I need to get new media?
I would buy some cured live rock, this way the tank should cycle very quickly?
Please correct me if i'm wrong!
A skimmer wouldn't be necessary until I wanted to upgrade to a reef?
So basically all I would need to buy is; a new test kit, hydrometer, salt mix and cured live rock?
Stocking wise, I was thinking of maybe a fire angel or a dwarf lionfish with a school of chromis to start?
Thanks for the advice
