hey guys i decided use my 2ft tank as a marine one since no one wants to buy it. Any tips i need to know?....and what stuff do i need?
any advice i will be very appreciated

cheers johny.
 
haha, that leaves a lot up in the air. anything specific you want to know? for filtration and equipment just get a large protien skimmer, a sump if possible, lots of live rock and a really good amount of flow(like 20x turnover min) and a good light. for stock go with just a couple of small nano fish.
 
it really all depends what you want form the tank?

a beautiful nano reef with oodles of corals and pretty little fish

or like some kinda badazz little fish or something like a mantis shrimp.. etc etc
 
i need to know exactly what equipment i need...thinkin of puting 2 clown fish in there
 
just 2 clowns?

no anenomes? corals? inverts? other fish?
 
id recommend a skimmer and a sump

reef octopus make a wide range of skimmers id recoomedn a nw 110. a sump is highly recommended. use bioballs if your just doing fish. with corals ide recommend a combo of bioballs, crushed coral and a seperate refugium with deep sand bed. id recoommend 4 t5 tubesd(either 2 twins ir a quad) and possibly 6 or 8 for more light loving corals(you can always get more light fittings)
 
2 foot tank isn't very large. How many gallons is it?
