any updates bro?

The reason for 2 feet or less it costs less to setup ( especially equipment )

If you have a 3 feet or 4 -

1st ) Efficient skimmer to skim that volume of water .

2) lighting - you need lighting to cover that footprint or area of the tank.

3) wavemaker - to ensure flow to in all areas ( 1 is insufficient )

4) the equipment to replenish water due to evaporation . 2 feet tank 60 litre , WC for 10% is 6 litre . Imagine 100 l , 200 l ? You sure can carry that huge amount of salt water every week ?

5) tank - more water means more weight and salt water has higher density . Means your tank has to be of quality to withstand.

6) In order to hide these equipment and ugly cabling = you need a sump + cabinet .

Last but not least - bigger tank = bigger fish , bigger coral - or many fishes many corals . = More $

From these list - u can calculate the cost vs cost of nano tanks

Thanks for the enlightenment...

It's recommended to start off with smaller tank like 2ft until u confirm will venture into saltwater. Tank above 3ft is better with proper marine system else you will waste a lot of $$$$ by then u want to upgrade. Freshwater n saltwater set up is totally different as it's more demanding. Read more before decide.

I thought it is always good to buy the biggest tank you can afford... 2ft seems like too small to me. Correct me if I am wrong bros...

I will also recommend Vincent from Aquarium Artist. He will give you good advise if you are new in this hobby.

Thanks for reply fellow reefers. Trying to digest everything here, more qns:

I am not keen on custom-made bcos of the higher prices.

8) where to get cheap and QUALITY cured live rocks?

Thanks...

Hi All,

I'm a newbie with a tank of ranchus and recently been lured by the salty side of reef tanks...

Intend to shift my ranchus to the bottom tier and use the top tier of my 2-tier 3ft rack to setup a 3ft reef tank.

Intention:

- some corals/fishes for beginner,

Some limitations:

1) sumpless

2) max 3ft (L) x 1.5ft ( x 1.5ft or more (H)

3) no chiller

Qns:

1) getting a 10mm glass tank as my current tank is only 6mm. Is this a good buy?

http://freshnmarine.com.sg/estore/product_info.php?products_id=803

2) which HOB skimmer would you recommend?

3) for 3ft tank which lights (LED/T5) would you recommend?

4) Is Vortech Mp10 good for 3ft tank?

5) Eventually I will love to have a Achilles Tang. Is there some pre-requites for the setting up of the tank?

6) What other equipment do i need?

Aiming to keep it under $1.5K. Is it realistic?

Thanks in advance ....
