Please lend a hand …
I have spent hours researching on the internet, read countless forums, purchased and read The Conscientious Marine Aquarist, and The New Marine Aquarium, visited a number of LFS and am still stuck in the same place, namely without a tank and without a plan. Hopefully someone here can help me.
What I want:
A small saltwater tank that will house live rock, live sand, a small clean-up crew, and possibly some easy to take care of corals.
The focus of the tank will be a leaf fish. I may add a second fish later, but am content with just the leaf fish.
I was hoping to purchase some type of all-in-one system (possibly the jbj 24g nanocube).
My questions:
What do you suggest as the best set up to meet these needs? I will be moving in 18 months and so want to keep it as simply as possible.
Will I need a protein skimmer? If so, is there an all-in-one system that has a protein skimmer or will I have to modify one?
Thank you very much for any help.
