I talked to my mom last night and she wasn't opposed to turning my 5.5 gallon tank into a SW tank. So basic equipment I'll need is:
-aquaclear rated for 20 gallon tank, smallest one
-25w fully submergible heater or can i use my 25w hob heater?
-maxi-jet 400 powerhead 106gph
-refractometer or can i use a floating glass hydrometer?
-bag of salt mix (any certain kind)?
-substrate (live sand or normal sand and how much)?
To start I'd like to go just for fowlr and upgrade lighting later to reef if possible if that's ok so I have a 10w cp fluerscent bulb from wal-mart with reflector if that's ok for now, maybe grow some of the softer stuff?
That's all for now, tomorrow I'm hoping to pick up some equipment but not setup the tank, just like heater, filter, powerhead, salt etc. (equipment)
Hope somebody can help me out here, right now I should be ablet to set it up
Kinda new so any :help: is appreciated
thanks
