Evening everyone,
I am a major newbie to saltwater aquariums and looking for advice. Over the years I have had great success in freshwater but the beauty of saltwater aquariums has drawn me in. I am in the process of starting off with a 10 gal nano to try my hand at saltwater aquariums.
Over the past couple weeks I have been slowly getting things I need for the aquarium itself, but have run across a "I'm not sure" moment. I am trying to figure out the best way to filter the tank. I have heard HOB filters are not great for saltwater aquariums but not sure what to use instead for this nano setup. If I do use a HOB type what type of medium should I use in it?
If anyone can offer any advise I would greatly appreciate it. I am going to be heading to the store tomorrow to pick up a few other things and was wanting to get help with this question before I go.
Much thanks for any help or advice,
David
