What filter, heater, and skimmer do you recommend?

I was thinking about getting a 29 gal saltwater tank. What would you recommend for that? Try to provide links if you can, Thanks.

29 fowlr,reef, fish only? This matters for skimmer and filter. Heaters I like eheim myself, but aqueon pro are nice too.

Yeea fowlr, sorry for not clarifying enough. Could a tetra whisper work? Have one laying one around might as well use it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Whisper filter? Yes that would work depending on gph

What would be your recommendation for the wavemaker? Bit of a newbie to saltwater, so sorry for all the questions.

I use Jebao RW4 pumps. They are around $50 each, one of the cheaper wave makers. One on each end of the tank pointing toward each other word work well in a 29. These are available on Amazon. You can also go with power heads, 2 500 gph power heads would work. The difference is a wave maker has variable speed and provides current more like surf. No mater which way you choose it will seem like a lot of water movement but that is what the ocean has.

Agreed. I use powerless but either will wrk.
