Hi my name is Megan. I just recently got a 20g tank that i turned into a FW tank. I did a few things wrong because i let my excitement get the best of me, and this cycle has been harder then it prolly should. So for my next tank we are going big because i want a SW tank sooo badly but this time i want to be beyond prepared!! So any knowledge you'd like to throw my way i would highly appreciate it. I would like to keep this thread to save my progress in my knowledge and to keep a list of things i need to acquire.
Set up:
Tank- Prolly going to see if i can catch a deal on craigslist?
Stand
Filter(s)- Don't know what are the best but plan on looking into canister and undergravel.
Live rock- Dunno how many pounds yet
Live sand- Dunno how many pounds yet
Lighting- I want corals and fish
Heater- Just going to get he basic watts needed for this size?
Skimmer- Have no idea about these things
Marnie salt/ Water conditioner- Whats the best type of conditioner to use for a SW tank?
Saltwater master kit
Tools for cleaning the tank:
What is the best way for cleaning a tank this size?
Siphon
Algae scrubber
Cycling- I think i'd like to try to do a fishless cycle for my SW tank. What is the best way to go about this?
Types of fish-
Haven't even started thinking about this yet
Types of corals-
