Howsit guys!
I am in the process of converting one of my freshwater tanks to a reef setup.
I need some help, i am planning to do the following, let me know what you guys think.
-paint back tank wall matt black
-get pool filter sand
-get dry rock
-i have a thermometer matched to tank size
-i will get a wave maker and maybe a clip on the back filter
-i have a Zetlight 1201 lighting system, will this be okay for a reef setup, to grow some basic coral?
-I have ordered a RODI filter system
I plan on growing some basic coral and having a fish or two.
Will pool filter sand be viable or should i have a look at getting crushed coral for substrate?
Is the tank a suitable setup? I recon with a clip on the back filter and some regular water changes i can get past a protein skimmer and a reactor. I also want to remove the canopy and keep the tank open at the top.
