Aquarium Advice Regular
Been doin freshwater for awhile, now I really want a marine tank to.I need some info and some suggestions please. The tank I have made is 84
gallons it is 60x18x18. I plan on a diy wet/dry for sure and maybe a diy protein skimmer if I need it tight budget.This is what I would like to keep
1 Auriga Butterflyfish
2 Percula Clownfish
1 Yellow Tang
1 Blue tang
2 Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
1 Blenny
Live Rock
Base Rock
Anemones (Moderate light)
Corals (Moderate light)
The lighting I am thinking is
2 48" actinic bulbs BLUE MOON BULB 40 WATT 48"
2 48"Coralife 20,000K Bulbs 20000 K 40W BULB
will that be enough for Anemones and Corals ? I have a 300gph HOB filter I can use to. Is pool filter sand ok to use as substrate? Am I correct in thinking that the base rock will become LR after awhile? And so will the sand.The return pump on my sump is a HYPER FLOW 17HF 840 gph with 4ft head and spray bar.Is that enough water current or will I need a powerhesd to? I am also going to get a U/V Sterilizer. I know I missed alot but its a start. Sorry so long but I have to ask these things.I dont want to harm the fish.Thanks for any advise in advance.
Thanks Alot
