Hello everyone!!
So I have a twenty gall long tank and am getting ready to purchase some more gear. Right now I have a emperor power filter, 30 lbs of live rock, 20 live sand and 20lbs of crushed coral/shell aggregate. I tried to make a protein skimmer but my air pump was not powerful enough so I threw that out!
My question is.. Should I buy an overflow box and wet/dry system, a in tank protein skimmer (tunze9002), or a ro/di unit? Eventually I would like all of the above but I am lost as far as priorities!! I just want as stable a tank as I can get because I'm learning quickly how crazy these small tanks can be. Ive had mine in operation for around 4 months and have one lm blenny and a green chromis + cuc. I'm battling algae right now bc I was using tap water.
