SRC Member mv3i Posted December 9, 2002 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2002 hi , i reckon you go for 10mm .... it's safer and if you can get a sump for the tank ... hence , your tank gotto be a OF one ... not advisable to get one using cannister filter ( ) bet someone would say otherwise anyway , for LR ... quite x now and depends on what you plan to have in the tank ... as for salt ... lots of them around ... all have their pros and cons .... you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member dodo Posted December 9, 2002 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2002 10mm is a good choice....more safe....personal opinion min 8mm....but your tank only 1.5ft....so no need 10mm...the pressure in the tank not so great....30-40kgs of LR should be enough....depend on what kind of structure u wanna your tank to look like(Bt Timah Hill or Mt Everest)....get it from Sea Life in Balestier....maybe still got LR sell....Kent Salt is the recommended salt....it has very good buffer abilities....well any type of filteration system also can use....canister also good lar....all depend on individual preference....jus like car....some prefer Toyota, some prefer Nissan....some die die also want Ferrari....all depends what you want as all serve the same purpose. OF is the highly popular choice among marine aquarist but if no OF means cannot keep marine fish meh?i think more important is the frequency of maintenace, type of filter media used etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member clowntrigger Posted December 9, 2002 SRC Member Share Posted December 9, 2002 Keith, you tank volume is about 50 gallon, based on the 1 pound per gallon, you need about 22KG. Thus I would go for 15-20Kg of live rocks, that should be sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 hi all, thanks for the advise i am plannig of getting some LR and 1 lion fish (maybe a pair of clown, 1 or 2 other fishes). do LR need good lighting ? i guess i need to get a new tank before i can start thanks in advance Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member clowntrigger Posted December 10, 2002 SRC Member Share Posted December 10, 2002 Keith, LR do not need good lighting, infact if you are just keeping fish and no coral, then normal FL will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
