I am currently running a 75g FW tank and i plan on converting it to a FOWLR tank when i move in a year or so. I am starting to figure out what i need so i can save up the money now.
What i have:
75g tank with stand (i doubt it is reef ready)
2 HOB biowheels
1 300w heater
1 200w heater
glass hood w/ x2 48inch T5 fixtures (2x28w) - a total of 4x28watt T5
What i was planning on getting:
RO/DI system (i was planning on getting one for my FW tank soon)
HOB protein skimmer
various water test kits
refractometer
2 ph (i have 2 that i have been using with my turtles, but i doubt they are any good)
I would say i am pretty experienced at FW so im looking forward to attempting SW. But i have a quick question... how necessary are sumps & refuges? i think my tank is tempered so i doubt i could drill for a sump. Would a HOB skimmer be sufficient with lr?
