Bear with me here...
Picked up a 40 gal breeder at the $1 per gallon sale. I am wanting this to START as a FOWLR, but I may move to corals later... so I am keeping that in mind with equipment...
right now I have, the tank, 40 pounds argonite sand, 25 lbs base rock (will be getting more base, and seeding with LR.
RO DI unit on the way. Picked up two smaller heaters, both capable of keeping the tank at a steady 78 degrees.
I have already a 36 zoo med dual bulb t5 HO light that is 39w/bulb (should be enough for MOST corals in the future, no?)
I also have a 20 gal long that I can convert to a sump/fuge if i need to, and an aquaclear 50 HOB filter.
The rest of my shopping list is this:
HOB skimmer, 2 Korali 2 (240 GPH) powerheads, another 25 lbs base rock, and 10 lbs live rock.
anything else I should consider picking up before getting started, and is a fuge on this set up absolutely necessary at this time?
Thanks all!
