Yep or you can get a Refractometer if you're planning on going reef in the future. But a hydrometer will do for fish only.
Armoredspider said:I'd be spending 350 dollars on the tank, two lights, two emperor 500 bio wheel filters, a wet-dry bioball filter, two under the tank wavemakers, and a tank stand. Would I only need live rock and live sand to start the tank?
Schism said:For the creatures you wish to keep, you will need to scrap most of that and upgrade. Live rock alone replaces the wet-dry filter, and for the most part the biowheels too. Will need new lights, more flow most likely and on a 150g if your not running a skimmer then your gonna have nitrate issues and 15g a week water change wont cut it.
Not trying to dissuade you from the 150 just letting you know what your getting into if you want nems in that tank. Its more money than has been suggested.
Ibrahim said:I think he is going starting off as Fish only. I didn't have a skimmer on my FO and had only 5 nitrates.
Armoredspider said:I was planning on starting out with a one fire fish (suggestions on any other starting fish?) and a CUC and after six months add a nem. Then I would add clowns once the nem is settled. Eventually I want to add the goby pistol pair but idk how long I have to wait for that.
Armoredspider said:I am planning this in the 150. Would a clown host torch coral so I don't have to get a nem?
Armoredspider said:So I would need to get a nem to host a clown?
Armoredspider said:Idk but I guess a 4. If its allowed on this forum I could post the Craigslist link.
