10G or Less Tank setup: How much to cash out?

Postby romar » Thu Mar 26, 2015 4:12 pm

Hi!

Been a week since i discovered about this hobby and I so want to set one for me so BADLY. Inaabot ako ng madaling araw sa kpapanood ng mga reef tanks sa youtube. haha. Grabe yung satisfaction so what more if I could have my own. Mga 2 days nako nagbabasa dito and it urges me more to set up one.

I know it is not that easy and not that cheap to set up and maintain a reef tank but I think I can do it with your help. :D

So my main question is, at this time, how much should I cash out for a 10G or less tank setup considering I have to start from scratch? Probably yung FOWLR setup muna. Anyway I live in Batangas near the sea! Like a few steps to the shore so I think I'll just use NSW for the water. (actually there's no shore. haha. it's like there's a thick wall that separates the land and the sea. parang swimming pool. lol)

It will really help if you can list down yung enumeration ng must have tools and their corresponding price range.

Some stupid questions,
1. Marami kasi mangingisda dito at madalas may nasasama na mga maliliit na colorful fishes like clown fish, etc. :cry: Can they live in a tank since from wild sila?

2. Kapag NSW ang ginamit ko, mas madali ang cycling? Cycling could be as fast as how many days and as long as how many weeks?

3. Is the Hang-on filter also responsible for the water movement? Or may iba pa na kelangan ko aside from that?

4. Kapag may power interruption. Paano? I mean what do you do? hehe

Thank you :) :) :)

Sigurado ka bang 10 gallons lang ang gusto mo? Madalas kasi sabihin, kapag naguumpisa palang, mas malaking water volume, mas madaling i-maintain ang water parameters especially yung temperature. IMO, since meron kang access sa unlimited sea water, mas okay ang larger tank sa'yo. Medyo addicting din kasi ang reef keeping! LOL! So larger tank means more space rin for fish and corals... :lol:

wala akong sump bro...

pero advisable na magkaroon...

in your case,kahit wala kang sump...sa mga nabasa ko ay ok lang basta follow mo ang good husbandry ..(?)

10% water change every week,nasa tabing dagat ka naman di ba?

kayang-kayayan...

I have a 15 gallon tank, HOB filter and wave maker... 4 small fishes, soft, LPS and SPS... Medyo nagaalala ako ngayon kasi malapit na naman uminit ang panahon. Summer last year ang hirap i-maintain ng temp. Kaya naman i-cool ng fan kaso mabilis din ang evaporation, so problem din ang salinity. So based on my experience, hindi ko maadvise lalo na sa newbie, to get a tank smaller than 50 gallons. But hey, it's your tank naman, so as long as hindi hassle sa'yo ang maintenance then go for a nano. Tsaka kung FOWLR lang naman ang talaga balak mo, hindi ka naman masyado dapat mag-alala sa temp. Pero promise, medyo addicting talaga yung hobby, kaya baka eventually, you'll want to add corals rin... then end up upgrading rin...

Go for a larger tank na kaya ng budget mo. Mas makakaiwas ka sa gastos kung naplano mo ng maigi sa umpisa palang.

All the best! :)
