Ok, after months of decisions i have decided to give saltwater a go! Here are some details of what i need to know and what i have already done and got!

Tank: 240l (L120cm x W40cm x H55cm) which is roughly 55 US Gallons.
Lighting: Dunno need advice and suggestions
Substrate: Coral Sand
Coral: Not sure and depends on lighting
Stock: Not sure haven't thought about it
Things I have: Refractometer, API Master reef kit, Heater, Fluval 305, some T5 24w things(came with the tank)

Ok, after months of decisions i have decided to give saltwater a go! Here are some details of what i need to know and what i have already done and got!

Tank: 240l (L120cm x W40cm x H55cm) which is roughly 55 US Gallons.
Lighting: Dunno need advice and suggestions Depends on what corals you want to keep? Softies, LPS, SPS.
Substrate: Coral Sand
Coral: Not sure and depends on lighting 1st thing you really need to decide as its more personal. Softies are hardier, sps are more sensitive.
Stock: Not sure haven't thought about it
Things I have: Refractometer, API Master reef kit, Heater, Fluval 305, some T5 24w things(came with the tank)

Obv i need A LOT more, so what else do i need?

Live rock
skimmer?
salt
RO machine or are you buying LFS RO water?
Power heads

Thats just quickly but you need to decide what you actually want to keep first

good luck
Chris
