ok will do the pic later, my dad is on the comp with that sketch program.
ok on the sump you going to need a dsb(deep sand bed) which is like my nitrate reducer. remeber that thing where is was -200 on the controller. but this is more natural. its basicly sand that is deep
. you can use reggies play sand which is cheap, like 40 for 20kg whitch is all you will need. you can add a little bit of beach sand when we go diving.
skimmer, a ts1(reefocto is the make) will do well. that about R1000 but watch the for sale threads, people sell them for 700 second hand. i will hook you up with a skimmer. you already got your return pump and a sump. so next holidays we can convert thats to suit marines.
lights you already got and i got a second pair of t5's for you. thats 4 25W t5s witch will do great in a 3ft tank thats 30cm deep! you will be able to keep what im keeping just not the clams and sps(those colourfull sticks).
flow, you have seen candices tank...2 seios will work fine. they will cost about 800.
other things to consider are water changes, you can use nsw(natural salt water) and could always get RO water from northlands pets. an RO unit is about R1000. thats about it!
you already got the tank,stand sump,return pump. maybe for your birthday you can get the skimmer and sand and stuff and for xmas get liverock. you will get figi liverock! thats what i have and is about R90 per kg. you will need about 20kg or so, R1800 if my maths is correct.
i will email you a complete price list of what you need and what is nice to have like an auto top up unit which replaces the evapourated water so you dont have to.
ok to much talking
