Hi,
I just picked up a used 55g tank (used as a FW plant tank) with a few things:
- filter (Includes homemade wet/dry filter with pump. ),
- Eco-complete gravel
- Also includes filter media and a couple (FW) live plants.
I have had plenty of FW set ups, but am a to the SW world.
Sounds like the filter will work pretty nicely, but I have some questions about what kind of equipment is recommended. Skimmer? uh? other stuff?
I also can buy a 2 year old Coralife double compact fluorescent 48" freshwater light for $100. Is that something that would be versatile enough to get me along into fish only set up? Anyone have any recommendations on the bulbs or is this a waste of money/time.
If there is already a thread on this let me know and sorry for the duplicate.
Thanks,
