Ok so my better half cought some interest in the marine hobby and shes been asking me a while now to get her a marine tank.
She has a hair salon at home and want to place the tank in the salon for the clients viewing pleasure.
She had a 50l tank with goldfish in that the children loved but we thought of taking it to the next level.
My plan is to do everything to minimize cost and also for the joy.so I will use this thread to ask for your guys and gals advice (thanks @belindamotion for the glass supplier)
So first off I have two 50l tanks in the garage that I can use as a sump or whatever.
I am planning to make the display with starphire glass so just need to get hold of a supplier. (Already sent the guys which belinda mentioned an email).
My next questin is what will be a nice size tank to build , it should be an easy to maintain tank and wateer changes must not be too big. It will just be an basic maring tank without all bells and whistles so as basic as possible. I need a nice sized tank that is in nice proportion and that can be a nice display for the public.
So what do you guys recomend.
The sump will have only a skimmer, bio cubes, heaters and return pump I will also add a bubble trap for the microbubbles.
The lights will be a quad unit t5 so that needs to fit on the tank aswell.
So please give any recommendations so I know where to start and so I dont mess up along the line.
Thanks so much
