Greetings to all,
Have just joined the community as a new member.
So, let me kick off immediately with a request for some assistance/advice.
I've been keeping tropical fish for approx 12 yrs and I tried my hand at marine fish for about 2 yrs ( We moved , so I had to give up my marine tank).
Anyway, even though I have a good basic understanding of fishkeeping , I have been out of touch with respect to advances in equipment technology etc. insofar marine fishkeeping is concerned.
I really wish to start up a marine tank again, but I'm not sure how to go about it.
My current tropical tank ( which I wish to convert to marine) is approx 240 liters (63 gallons , I think). It is a corner tank with trapezoidal layout (If that makes sense).
My initial thoughts are to have both fish and live rock with maybe a few corals at some later stage ?
I also have a separate old 2 ft tank which I was thinking of using as a sump.
Question : Ideally what equipment should be contained in the sump and what should the layout for a sump look like ?
Equipment wise, what would you consider a "must" and what can be added on later ?
Best regards
