Hey Guys,
I'm just finishing preparations to setup a marine aquarium (first time).
This is my current list of equipment.. Some I already have, others soon to arrive.
I welcome any comments or suggestions you have.
I'm thinking to start the aquarium off FO at first, then slowly as the aquarium matures start to introduce a few live rock etc.
P.s. I know salt is missing. But the white stuff seems to be worth its weight in gold..
Vision 260 (I've removed the internal filter box, was a bit of an eyesaw + seemed to take up too much room)
1x Arcadia Marine blue tube light
1x Arcadia Marine white tube light
1x Tetratec EX1200
1x Fluval 404
1x Protein skimmer
1x Juwel heater
6x Power heads + bio balls (Prob wornt use all the powerheads, 3/4 at most. I have no idea what the bio balls are used for..)
1x unbranded dual airpump (came free from the aquarium, might upgrade it at some point to a quiter model.. maybe tetratec?)
25kg New CoralGraval Sand
10kg Used Coral Sand (Used in a mature marine aquarium for about 12 months, thought it might be a good thing for my virgin setup)
25kg Ocean Rock (Not too sure if this will be enough for a decent aquascape?)
20LBS Caribsea Arag live sand (I'm planning on mixing it together with my coral gravel/sand)
1x Large dead coral
1x Handheld TDS metre
1x Reverse osmosis filter
1x Instent Ocean Hydrometer
1x Digital Thermometer
Am I missing anything?
