Its been aong time but im back to have another try, I've kept a Toby puffer in the most recently in the past but donated it to Maidenhead aquatics over 2 years ago. I'm planning to set up a small marine fish only with live rock tank. Hopefully will have the tank tomorrow then I can start the cycle.
The tank is a betta 120 litre with internal filter.
The skimmer I was planing to get is on this link https://www.allpondsolutions.co.uk/aquarium/equipment/protein-skimmers/boyu-wg428-nano-sump-skimmer/
This is the UV steriliser

I plan on getting a dwarf lionfish and maybe a valentini puffer depending after I research it up.. livestock is only a thought atm
One major concern is that this time of will be putting the tank in my bedroom attic, it gets cold.. quite cold. The room most of the time when not occupied is 13C minimum. But over night when I'm asleep I leave the heater on and it's about 20dC in the room. I'll obviously have a heater in the tank but if you see where I'm coming from, will evaporation be a major issue?
Any input, advice criticism is welcome. Thanks for reading
