Need Some Fairly Basic Guidance

[steelhealr]

Planning and researching is the best to start off...doin' good. SH

What skimmer are you using and which powerhead? Thanks

 

[@ombomb]

I'm using the Power Sweep Self-Rotating Powerhead (228) and I'm not sure what skimmer yet tbh.

Not planning on spending a fortune on it. Any recommendations would be appreciated actually.

In your thread you said skimmer: £30 so, I'm just wondering which skimmers you saw at this price.

 

[@ombomb]

The skimmer I am planning to use is: Berlin Air-Lift 60 Protein Skimmer

£26.99 from Aquatics-online.co.uk

Tank / Sump ordered and paid for...

Won ebay auction for RO Unit, paid for, delivered next week (hopefully).

So far we have taken care of:

Tank
Sump
RO Unit
Lighting

Remaining:
Powerhead
Pump
Heater
Skimmer
Hydrometer

Hopefully all those will be taken care of at Christmas!

Other:
Sand
Tubing
Bulkheads - (where the hell can you buy bulkheads?)
Liverock

I love it when a plan comes together

Refactometer!!!! JMO. SH

Too late, Hydrometer all ready received!

And...

Skimmer
Air Pump
Heater
Powerhead
Pump
Thermometer

So all I really need to move things along is the tank...

...and a stand / hood to make.
