Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am setting up a reef tank.
What I HAVE :
I have a 40 gal jebo, built in filter with 450l/h going right now.
I have 2 55 watt Helios PL lamp 1 of them 12000k/7100k blue/white and the other 12000k Marine double blue (I dont know if i really like this lighting, is this good enough?? the neon i think can show better as well)
SeaClone 100 (not hooked up, dont even know if good enough)
There is also about 50 pounds of live rock in there a few soft corals and 40 pounds of live sand.
WHAT I WANT:
nice soft/hard corals, some sea fans, few fish, some more live rock, basically a nice reef tank that shows the wonderful neon
WHAT SHOULD I GET? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?
Lighting? Powerheads?
Im thinkin about putting a 10 gal tank underneath and running some additional power heads to that and putting the skimmer in there.
Temp is at about 78-79.5
Please please please... Start me over if necessary. What do I need, what should i get for a sucessful reef tank.
Please let me know what type of: temp, lighting, power heads, skimming, filter system, chemicals, heaters, anything anything anything.. please help!
If you have a nice reef, please by all means let me know what you have.
