Planning to start a fowlr tank,Need Help on where/what 2 buy

[bruppy]

Guys, Masters, and Gurus out there I'm currently planning to set-up a FOWLR saltwater tank after the Holy Week. I'm a total newbie when it comes to saltwater tanks, but i've been reading and watching videos on youtube.
Now my problem is I know only one place to buy the equipments which is in cartimar, can you guys tell me if there are other shops or a one stop shop that i can buy everything i need?
By the way here is the plan or the things i plan on getting:
30gal tank with stand
10g sump tank 3 chambers pwede na? (if budget allows if not overhead filter)
Live sand
Live rock
Community Fishes (also what fishes can you suggest for a newbie)
Filter Media
UV filter (is this necessary?)
Protein Skimmer
NSW or Salt Mix (also where to get rin hehe)
And my budget is about 6-7k (kaya ba?)
and may kulang or kelangan pa ba?
Regarding sa sump guys, anong size kaya ng pvc kelangan ko? and gaano kalakas na return pump kaya magagamit ko? and ano rin palang pwede ilagay na media sa sump? live rocks? bio balls? ceramic rings?

So guys sana may sumagot I really need your help on this one, and if you can tell me your prefered brands na swak sa budget ko thanks!!
Sorry guys medyo marami tanong, I dont want to fail on my first attempt sa saltwater tank eh
By the way im near quezon avenue

6k could work kung hindi ka maselan, like rimless tank pero kulang pa rin kung plano mo magskimmer. If you're looking for a one stop shop, carti lang ang alam ko. Ang iba kasing shop equipments lang ang iinooffer, ang iba may livestock na rin.

Here are some people that you could contact:

1. Aquarium Tank & Sump: Mang Ramon (09225026681): 950php (50galon generic tank, mas mura kung mas maliit)

2. Liverocks & Sand: Richie of Fevmarine (qc, sponsors section) kathrina's sa carti or rap sa aqua alley.

3. Livestock (Corals & Fishes): DLBD, Grahf11

4. Saltmix: depende kung ano gusto mo.. Budget friendly saltmix, BLUE TREASURE SPS (750php) GO Deals (Aaron sa sponsors section, FevMarine, Aquariatech), Red Sea (160php/kilo), Seachem Salinity (3k /bucket)

5. Other Equips.. Isabay mo na inquire sa kanila (masyadong marami eh)

6. Protein Skimmer- baka kapos sa budget mo ito. But you could try other filtration system like ats, chaeto, dsb etc..

I hope nakatulong.. Feel free to pm me if may tanong ka pa.

Best of luck bro!

Plan muna ng maayos b4 u buy anything bro.para d masayang equips na bibilhin mo...much better if u could do tank tours to see difrent systems to get more ideas,so that u can plan properly. Madami kasi buy ng buy then mali pala naisip,may mas maayos pala na design,so ayun sayang mgs nabiling equips

[bruppy]

Yup, I already have a general idea on mind
right now i'm just getting some added inputs and checking to see if my budget will be enough for the set up I want.
And sa tingin ko mukhang kukulangin siya

As I understand, Seachem is the company and "AquaVitro" is one of their product line. Just like saying, Procter & Gamble is the company and there are many product line under its umbrella like Tide, Ariel, Downey, Pampers, etc..

[aquareef]

You may called Aquavitro as the Premium or better the "Experienced/Pro" brand of Seachem. AQUAVITRO is a Division of SEACHEM. What I am trying to conveyed is that you should have use "Aquavitro" instead of "Seachem" in referring to Salinity Salt Mix.
Assuming that you are referring to the Salinity, can you tell us what is the size content of the 3k/bucket you are referring & where did you get it?

@mindfreak: You don't have to elaborate to that point. I know what RonSax is actually referring. I am just correcting him the proper way of using the Company's Marketing Brand!

[RonSax]

@aquareef: I dont understand why you're so upset with the omission of the word Aquavitro? There's no point of lecturing here about the proper use of brands name.. It's still Seachem.. Do i need to elaborate na Seachem's Aquavitro Salinity Saltmix? I'm just using my phone and typing is a bit difficult here.. Wag kang magalit kung na-omit ko man ang Aquavitro, that is not my intention. Yap. Aquavitro is a division of Seachem but its still Seachem. Kahit pa may iba pang saltmix ang Seachem, wala namang ibang product na Salinity saltmix. So, di ba understood na yun kung sabihin ko man na, Seachem Salinity? Regarding the supplier.. Do i really need to post here kung sino ang nagbebenta ng 3k na Salinity?

Tama naman si mindfreak in elaborating what he said kasi you're implying na hindi gawa ng Seachem ang Salinity.

[mindfreak]

Yup, that's why i said "As I understand it". The very same way you want to explain to bro Ronsax your point. In all fairness to Bro Ronsax, I don't believe he had intention whatsoever to misled the readers. Hope that clears everything.

and by the way, sorry sa TS. mukhang na OT na kami.
