So I have a "mini" tank. I started it up maybe 9 months ago and basically it crashed after a while which from what I'm thinking was due to lack of a protein skimmer since I tried taking the "cheaper" route and not using one.
Tank details:
-29 Gallon High
-Deepblue Solarmax HE lighting
- Aquaclear 110 HOB Filter with Carbon and Biomax media.
Previous Livestock
Before the tank crashed it was thriving pretty well. I had:
-2 ocellaris Clownfish
-1 Yellow Tang
-1 Green Mandarin
-1 (what i think was) Golden headed sleeper goby
-1 turbo snail
-A handful of hermit crabs
-1 cleaner shrimp
-1 sandsifting starfish (who has disappeared)
-15lbs of live rock
-crushed coral substrate.
Current Livestock
-I have one of the clownfish left. They both made it out alive and I put them into a biocube at my job and it was eaten by a maxi-mini anenome. So currently have one left
-the turbo snail and a few hermits.
Now my situation. I was going to use the Remora Aquac HOB protein skimmer. Are these good skimmers? Also I plan on adding more live rock+ trying out corals for the first time. What would be some good corals for this size tank and also would my light be good enough to grow the corals out? any information would be great thank you!
