SRC Member [V]tEc Posted October 25, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi, i hope u read about this hobby before u decide to step in. First of all, marine tank is not as simple as fresh water. Lots of patience, time and effort is needed. 2ndly, although is good to get 2nd hand items, but raise your budget so that u can get some decent items. my advise is go for 2 feet with sump tank. get a proper skimmer, chiller is a must if u plan on keeping corals, no point using fan. u will top up water till u go crazy. for stand, dont get those metal ones. u will face alot of headache once rust set in. if u are not in a rush, camp in the 2nd hand market. there are times when reefers upgrade and sell off their current set up at good price. last but not least, if u planning to go on low budget tank, my advise is dont even start. this is not a cheap hobby. above is just my 2 cents worth. feel free to pm me if u have any questions about starting up this hobby. took me few years before i really went into this hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dev_igit Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I agrre to my friend..this hobby requires a lot of patience and correct equipments and systems to put in place and sustain the hobby..pls do not compromise of some essentail items like skimmers, chillers(if reef tank) bciase they perform the life line system of the tank..

m12345y Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 It needs luck to get cheap yet good 2nd hand equipment. I honestly don't believe one can have that much luck to have everything cheap n good. So make sure you understand the risks involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fropi Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 [V]tEc Thanks for the advise man, i do know about the stiuation of the evaporating issue, however as i am unable to afford for a chiller i am doing my best to get a fan at least so as to change the temperature (will switch on only when needed).

Gobyluver Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Bro.. IMHO for a fowler tank if u can maintain the water temp below 31°C should be fine. Dun hv to buy cooling fan. U'll end up spending more for the maintenance. Like u I started off with 2ft tank and NSW bought from fish farms. With just 2 nemos and a boxer shrimp with sand and a few live rocks, I managed to keep the LS alive for 6 mths with bi-weekly 10% water changes.
