Buying all that is needed. (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

Besides, tank, stand, lights (with ballast), what else is needed to set up a tank.

Ok,

Sump,
pump to drive water out of sump into tank,
skimmer,
LR and LS,
RO/DI and salt,
heater, thermometer,
refractometer.

We have looked long and hard at the finances, and where retirement and schooling, thinking we need to go smaller, and eventual a second tank, or small nanos.

So what kind of testing kits that I need?
What all kind come in electronics form?

Am I missing anything that is essential from my list, I don't own anything yet.

a pump for the skimmer
powerheads
mag float algae scraper
quarantine tank highly recommended (You can get the 10 gallon setup at walmart for $29 -- incl tank, filter & light hood.)

Ah, yes the quarantine tank, how long does one quarantine fish and how long for corals, inverts?

You left out lighting. And in Texas I don't think you'll need a heater.

 

[Guest]

Yeah, I didn't think I would need a heater, but nice to have one right?

Lighting, am looking into, I know I will need HMs, and VHOs.
