Aqua one 850

[ChazzMichaelMichaels]

Found this tank for a pretty good price and want to know if it would be any good for a marine tank without having to add too much. I know a skimmer will be needed but it comes with T5 lights and an inbuilt drip filtration system. It will most likely stay as a FOWLR tank if I do go through with the purchase. Any advice would be awesome because I've never kept a marine tank before. Cheers

I'm not a fan of package deals for tanks, they generally use the cheapest components and then charge like they are top of the line. Though I have no experience with that specific company.

I'm sure you can make it work, but keep in mind you may need to replace more than just a protein skimmer.

Just depends on how good the deal is. At least in MN there are 50-100 gallon saltwater full systems that show up all the time for cheap, so if it were me and in this state id pass till I could get a total package.

Went ahead an bought it as it was only £80 which is ridiculously cheap for the UK. Have a skimmer and wave maker arriving next week. Have took out all the filter media and replaced it with new floss. Anything else need replacing? I have coral sand and live rock in already with the salt water.
