ok i got alot of questions from alot of people
, im gonna answer them all one shot.
Yip we are a nosy bunch
first of all il post a pic asap, tomoro probably.
i bought the tank second hand, for a bargain i must add
and he used it as a marine tank. it is a 100l tank, making it a nano if not mistaken? i want to put fish and coral in it. it does not have a sump but it came with the following:
If you are building a cabinet, I would suggest making space for a sumo and drilling the tank and adding an overflow
1. resun nano protein skimmer.
Truly Fish :: Protein Skimmers :: Resun SK-05 Nano Protein Skimmer
2. resun internal power filter.

3. 2 x T8 lights, one 10000k and the other in the blue spektrum. dont think they are HPO.
Ok that filter is not really what you are looking for, you could take the canister part off and use it as a powerhead.
The skimmer I am sorry to say is a gimmick, not really a serious piece of kit
Those lights are fine for Fish Only, you would have to mod the lid to keep any corals.
im not sure if those items will do for a fish and coral tank?
i noticed now that kanga mentioned it. that the ceramic rings have been chaned with activated carbon and filter floss. and yes it is a "in lid" filtration system.
Yip, but if you have a sump you might want to use that for lighting space
sofar iv been building a cabinet/stand for it and buying all the stuff i need.
i have bought all the testers that i need according to my LFS everything came in one box except ph tester. so bought that. i am looking to buy all digital testers from ebay. i am a frequent buyer on ebay and there some really nice testers on there which i havnt found here in SA yet. is it worth buying these digital testers?
What testers are you referring to? also what test kits (brand) did you buy?
how much live rock must i add to my tank? i read that with enough live rock you dont need any other filtration. is this true and how much is enough?
Life rock help with filtration, however your biggest "filtration" at this stage will be waterchanges to ensure a healthy system
any tips and the cycle stage and starting up i would appreciate. i really want to do this right.
Mama Nature does what she does Some guys do add a piece of prawn etc but it depends what rock, sand etc you start with
sihaya, a cycle buddy would be great
lol
thanks all!!
