Ok,
I just finished looking at Saul's Microreef..... And I have been wanting to go marine "Salt" from day one. I love my monsters and don't fathom going into anything hard core.
I am also unwilling to drop two 55's to start... Especially since i am under the understanding that a 55 is a really small tank to begin with and less water equals more care...
Though I am right now wanting to keep it SMALL and simple... From Saul's picture and post I am convinced that I have been filled a little bit of BULL...
So..
I have two ten gallons sitting... If I absolutely had to I could make one into a sump.. Remember I want to keep it simple...
So for this can i use a aquaclear mini, and a lee's mini air skimmer? Like the set up I seen "Saul's"
I would want a couple nice pieces of rock..
A nice mushroom.... And something else to fill the tank but not over crowd...
Also I would want a fish or two. I know this is going to be part of the flame me part But oh well..
So
10g.
Aqua clear mini filter ?
Lee's mini skimmer?
Live sand how much?
Rock? 10lb? or less?
Fish... Can I have a clown or two and which sp.??
Oh and what else will i need to get this moving? And when do I add what.
Please remember I have read for a while on salt tanks but not much has sunk in , as I really haven't pictured owning one due to cost.. And My budget may not allow even this project after you give me your answers. Plus even though i have read a little I am a complete NOOB when it comes to this area!!!!
Oh and lighting would be the same as Saul's pretty much..I forgot which they were but there were three and they added up to 4.5 watts per g.
Also remember I am a MonsterFishKeeper, and my monsters are my priority, though I can take care of them in my sleep and they are in my living room so they get allot of my attention
Please be nice as I really do not want to deal with the CHILDREN on the site and will ask if I am offended, to have the offending posts removed.
Thanks guys !!!
