So I'm in the final stages of my new 45 long freshwater. And I have NO SW experience. But, I'm thinking about the future, and it smells like salt. I have an old 5 gallon tank that I think would be fun to turn into a micro reef. So I'm gonna ask several questions:
-Will a small HOB be fine for filtration, It's like 10 gallon rated
-Will I need a protein skimmer?
-Will I need to do anything to my tap water (other then add salt) to make it ok for use, since its well water?
-Will I be able to use just the standard light that came with the tank? It's one of the color enhancing bulbs?
-Can I have any type of fish in it?
-Anemonies, or something that looks/is similar, can I have it in this tank?
-What will it cost?
-Did I miss anything?
I'll be doing my own research, but figure it couldn't hurt to start a thread.
