My Journey in Salt

[blackghost]

Hello!

ive been meaning to go back into marine after decomm a simple tank about 6 years ago.

it took an impulse buy of this ocean free tank to dive back in into this marine hobby. So currently trying to get the parameters correct.

 

 

and I'm in discussion with a tank maker as well as my parents to decommission my freshwater tank and get a new 4 footer inspired by Innovative Marine

the table i used to support this tank.. has shown some bowing.. that means, ive to decomm and upgrade this sooner than later..

i have an old 4 footer, almost 6 years old? maybe older.. so i thought to myself. i shld decomm that tank as well and for the first time custom build my own tank..

 

as sooo.. i spoke with a tank maker and ive just received the mock up yesterday.. its due to get delivered in two weeks..

Bro, personally I feel Henry at MarineLife provides excellent advice for setting up a new tank. Cheers

What type of filter media are you looking for ? 

[blackghost]

Not too sure..

 

ive vey read that live rocks are the only media i need..

 

do do I still need wool, ceramic rings or even coarser grade of coral sand to act as media?

you can consider additional media like coral chips and biohome.
