Hi. I've been planning to set up a 50g reef tank for several months now. But things changed and just last Saturday, I bought my first nano tank - a 7.5g cube tank. Along with this tank, I also bought:
1. Resun HOB filter (with crushed corals, foam and carbon as filter media)
2. LED lights (can be switched from white to blue)
3. sand which I do not know if it's live or not
4. live rocks
5. Natural seawater
6. Hydrometer
7. Water conditioner (Aquatan, I think)
My plan here is to make it a reef tank. Prior to buying all these, I've been researching a lot, reading several articles from different authors, which then made me confused on what I should really do.
As of this moment, the tank has already been assembled with the live rocks and sand in it. The filter as well as the lights have been running for six days now. The salinity is stable at the green mark on the hydrometer and the temperature ranges from 80 to 85.
What I do not know is whether I already have all the equipment needed for my reef tank. I posted here a picture of my tank. Unfortunately however, I was not able to take a picture of the whole setup. But I hope this will be enough for me to get advice. The only missing in the photo are the HOB filter and the lights.
I honestly do not know if I am on the right track. If you see anything wrong in my tank, please let me know. I would also appreciate any advice on how I can improve my setup.
By the way, I'm from Taguig.
Thanks in advance.
