I'm dying to start a marine tank (if my mom has her way I will only start when I'm finished matric- aka in 2 years) but unfortunately I'm stubborn, and I'm gonna get all my plans in order anyway.
I've got a nano (or is it pico?) Jebo tank, about 18liters, with the filter in the lid. It's small yea, but I can't afford bigger stuff. I don't necessarily have to keep fish.
Big thanks and rep to @dallasg who gave it to me- one of the nicest things anybody ever done for me :thumbup: he also gave me a blue light, 4 filter pads for nitrite, ammonia, carbon and phosphate and some substrate.
I have a bunch of q's.. Do I need a sump? I have a little 15l 1ft tank that I could use like this guy did, My 30L Nano - Marine Aquariums of South Africa, or something similar. It's the only tank I got that's not 2nd hand and cracked. What about the layout for making this a sump??
Skimmer? If there no sump, there no were to put one.. If this tank stops us from going on holiday, I'm gonna be in the sh1t, so I want to keep this as simple, cheap and low maintenance as possible..
Advice advice advice please!! Will add more q's as I think em up :P
