Fish Crazy
just started my first tank after i fell in love with girlfriends rio 240.
i got tank (36x24x18, 10mm glass, i work it out to be 266 l, but i cant be trusted with maths), cabinet and 27 kgs of LR for £165 i don't think rock was well kept before i received it, in a bin with saltwater and an airline, hopefully some stuff is still alive on it not seen anything yet it also came with an Arcadia 4 tube T5 luminaire which is surplus to requirements because i bought a low bay halide light at 400w with a 20k lamp which is a month old, for £30(I'm after keeping clams.) the boss bought me a v2 600 skimmer yesterday which I'm still having a few teething problems with (getting the right amount of waste, its producing tons of clear and the micro bubbles escaping into the tank.)
so far the things i need to add are-
power heads
more LR
maybe UV sterilizer
maybe some rowaphos never used it so I'm gonna have to look into that
and tons of lovely corals and inverts
let me know what you guys think and advise me on where im goin wrong.
