Nice lights and i like how it makes a beam of light down on your tank...lol
Yeah that looks awesome, especially with the ripples from the surface it looks pretty sweet on the bottom with the light

They're both 1 and I took one of them right away after the pic taken because it was a lot of flow lol
I might switch them both to nanos

just 1 k1 is fine unless you want the flow split up then go with 2 nanos...
I went with the second one because I found a dead spot in my tank and nasty stuff was gathering back there, but I might get both nanos instead

Salifert is the best, in my opinion. If they don't have those, just order them or the seachem test kit online. From what I have read (no experience with API) the API kits can be inaccurate.
Also I think once your bulb has some hours burned in the blue will lighten up a bit. The good news is after a few months you can choose your own bulb, just be sure to get a name brand bulb not some junky generic pos.

Any suggestions on to which test I should buy? I think the Salifert ones don't come in a kit, just individual, I think.

Start with a refractometer. Then test kits for ph, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Next up would be magnesium, alkalinity and calcium.

What's the difference with refractometers that have a light included?
But yeah, I'm definitely ordering that one

I have never seen one with a light included. Totally unnecessary if you ask me, unless you live in a vacuum. Just make sure the refactometer that you choose has ATC, automatic temperature compensation

I saw one with light but it was like $90 or something, so I assumed it was better(?) But if there's no real use for it, why bother right?

Hello all i'm new to this but i've done freshwater. I want to do a biocube like your but cost is my only limiting factor and i chose 29g for portability when we move in the summer where it will be my quarantine tank when i get a bigger tank. So my question is how much does a nice setup like that cost? And, can anyone help me find info on seahorses? My fiance loves them and in the future I would like to surprise her with one as soon as i know what i'm doing.
