Hi All
Firstly let me say hi - I am very new to this & use to have a tank many years back but only for a short time.
I am a diver & love all sea life & as such would like some of that at home!
I stay in Midrand JHB, seems most of you guys are from the coast?
The tank I would like to build will be 2.5ML X 1.5MH X 800W
I want both fish & coral & all coral life in my tank, sort of a small part of the ocean in my house!
I am not sure about the rest of the equipment I will need - I am happy with the different lights I will need & having them on at different times.
What I lake is understanding what I will need to make sure the water will be okay for all to live - also I would like A wave type device! & where should I do all the cleaning? in the sump tank under the main tank & do I use a skinner or not? I am away for a week some times & want to try have the tank be okay that the period of time!
My last tank was a pain as I had to fill it everyday with water I hope I can overcome this now? with a good float system
I will be doing this very slowly & want to take my time in making sure I get the right equipment & not rushing into it & having to rebuy stuff.
Thanks all
