Hey all,
I want to set up a smaller tank with some clowns, inverts, and soft corals. Probably like a 29gal, but maybe something in the 40s. I won't have room for a fuge or sump, and I'm used to the Berlin method. (I used to have a 125, DSB, MH lights, etc) So I wanna know what you recommend for filtration. It won't have a huge bioload, probably 2 clowns, maybe a neon blue goby, some shrimps, snails, and soft corals and LPS. I might go to SPS if I think I can swing the lighting for them in such a small tank.
I know water parameters are more difficult, and not being able to throw a skimmer and a DSB in there makes this uncharted territory for me. I don't want a DSB because, being a small tank, real estate is precious.
Thanks for the advice!
