Resolved Question: I have a 45 gallon aquarium meant for marine fish. Where to start on making it a reef tank?
Hi there. I recently came by the biggest steal of my life (so far). :)
PLEASE read ALL of this for best info
For FREE, from my aunt, I have acquired a 45 gallon marine acrylic tank, with teak stand, a FluVal 304 canister filter with all necessities, a fully functional undergravel filter with 2 (very) strong power heads, an Aquaclear 50 gallon hang on filter, and a heater that works perfectly with its tank size. It even comes with a plastic hood (more details in a bit) and multiple air pumps, tubes, and air stones.
This acrylic tanks top, liek most acrylics have the folded in top, with a large slit on the back for filtartion mechanisms, a hole for wiring powerheads/heater, and two large, divided openings in the middle. On these two holes a plastic hood with a single 20w (lame..) freash water flourescent light is mounted.
My question is this. This tank was meant to be used for a marine tank. With the tools already at hand, what other equipment/test kits do I need to get this started and an estimate in price?
(btw i have a gravitometer already)
outside of obvious live rock/sand etc. what are the basic things I should buy/replace. I would like to find out if there is a stronger marine aqua light for this oddly shaped tank. (rounded front corners)
Its dimensions are:
exactly 3ft or 36in in length
15in deep
and 16in tall
ANY information on this would be an amazing help. I will pay attention to details in the answers and will be sure to grand a best answer!
THANK YOU!!
Done two years of marine aquarium research.
Dont live in a hot place- fog city San Francisco. 70 degress is a HEAT WAVEPROTEIN SKIMMER NECESSARY FOR THIS SIZE?
moreResolved Question: cant find a small aquarium?
Hi I want my father to get me a 2.5 gallon aquarium made of glass. I am not interested in acrylic, it scratches easily. I want it for my betta who currently lives in a bowl. I need to know where i can find a. the aquarium, b. a hood that fits, c. a light for the hood, and d. a heater. The aquarium and hood are the most important. It has to be made of glass. Thank you! Websites and stores are appreciated!
