Hello,
Returning to the hobby here and now relocated to Florida. I’ve been trying to decide on inhabitants and a tank. I want to start a FOWLR and maybe in 6 months or so add some soft corals.
I may be buying a used Red Sea Reefer: 108g aquarium, 31 g sump. Offer is from a LFS and includes the tank, stand, sump, plumbing acrylic mesh cover and hanging hood with led strips (no lights for coral, though). Owner said he would deliver (since I can’t move it myself) set up and add water. Total ask is $1,150. I was told they filled it to clean it but it was empty when I saw it. Reputable place, though.
First, what are your thoughts?
Second what else do I need? Here are my thoughts:
Sand: 125 lbs
LR: 125+ lbs
Return pump: not sure brand or size
Heater: not sure either
Powerheads: intake/output on tank is in middle
Filter material for sump- need to research this more.
And maybe a UV sterilizer?
I must admit that after being out of the hobby for close to 10 years I am suffering sticker shock at the prices of everything. Anyway, excited to get going again.
Thanks in advance for your time.
