Aquarium Advice FINatic
Its taking me forever to pull the trigger on this project. I need a helpful push from you experienced old salties.
Now, ive watched youtube vids on nano sw builds until my eyes glazed over. When the bag of doritos is gone, I take a break. I've gained alot of valuable info, but certainly could use a lot more.
Im starting from scratch except for a few accessories. Im looking to order the refractometer, salt, seachem purigen, powerhead, and additional lighting online(led strips). Id like to keep the lighting within the canopy. This will ultimately limit what I can keep, but its the best look imo. Ill get live sand and a few pieces of live rock at the lfs or locally on CL. Ive got 2 nice pieces of flattish lace rock that id like to use for terraces instead of buying tonga. Is that ok?
I'll get to more questions before this becomes rambling.
Whats the best value refracto, powerhead, and leds to fulfill our needs?
Do you like the idea of a 10gal refugium in the cabinet? Good pump?
Heres some pics of what we're working with.
I could replace the original light with the 10g 4w edge or just leave it out altogether and fill the space with a better option. The spacing for led strips is 1 x 5 3/8 behind the light and 1 x 6 7/8 in front.
Your help and patience is appreciated
