I would like to start my first saltwater tank in the near future. This would be an extended build as I would slowly gather supplies until I can get it all at Christmas. I would like to keep this a 20 gallon long tank in order to keep general costs down. I would like to make this a reef tank also. I would like a pair of clownfish and am undecided on the rest of the stock. As far as corals go I would LOVE to have a Zoa garden like convict's. that's all I really know for sure now. Now here are the questions (sorry) haha.
1. I know for a reef you need 30-40x the turnover rate so would 2 hydor 425 work?
2. Skimmer?
3. Sump/fuge?
4. This tank would be built on a DIY stand and be in my basement so I would need a good heater. Suggestions?
5. Lighting?
6. Am I missing anything?
Thanks in advance
P.s: I hold this forum responsible for my aquarium addiction.
