well, just found in the garage my 3 yrs old 20 gallon aquarium (Hagen). I would like to know what do I need in order make it start
I was thinking of 20 lbs of sand (I'll check with the store to see the brands) and 15lbs of live rock (also check the store to see if they provide this). I have no idea about the filter and the pump....well except the Penguin biowheel 125...it's an all in one, right?
I'll also buy a thermometer (100w) and now comes the light, wich is giving me headaches; I see everybody it's using the workhorse 7 ballast...but how do u connect it to the tubes...and where to get the tubes? I mention that I like the pure white light and the blue one too ; btw...what's the meaning ov VHO?
The water that'll put inside...well I'll go and buy the reverse osmosis deionized from the grocerie store..and mix it with some salt....
I want corals inside....after the cycle :mushrooms, polyps...the colorful ones
well, I'm out of ideas
btw I live in Canada , near Montreal and my start budget is around
250-350 dollars. during the summer I'll work and I can get all the fancy stuff I need. for now..only the basics: any help greatly appreciated
PS- I now I need to ask no CC sand
PPS. What's powerhead, skimmer..and how do u direct the jet of water in one direction..in order to make it circulate?
ppps is a sump A MUST for a nano tank?
