| Posted | 4ft Marine tank set up........HELP! |
| 24-06-2006 11:09 by lulu |
I have reef set up in a two and a half foot tank right now.I'm hoping to move it to my 4ft Juwel tank. I'm not sure about what I will need to set this up. As I have only had my set up for 6 months. I need to know basically what I need ie, What kind of lights as I'm keeping corals and what other equipment I'll need to move them into the bigger tank. As I know its going to be expensive and I'm not wanting to throw good money after bad! I hope someone in here can try to give me some advice, Thanks lulu |

go for the best kit your pocket can afford. dont buy cheap cheap as you will have problems further down the line .as for lighting look at a 3ft 2 lamp halide 150w / 250w 14k. |

well you will need some more live rock for a start and as trik says some halides, also if you are going to use a skimmer you will need one thats up for the job also some powerheads for circulation thats just the basics mind you

Hi I have just set up my first marine tank as I have wanted one for ages and finally after hard work and saving I have got one and have had it up and running for the passed 2 months! I have the following:
Jewel Rio 240 tank and stand drilled with custom built 80l algae sump, aquamedic sun cover kit with 2 54W bulbs, pump for circulation, 20kg rock, 2 bags of sand, mud and algae for sump, salt, heater/stat, hydrometer and test kits, electric thermometer, mag-float cleaner all built with back painted, delivered and set up all for £1000! I currently have 2 clown fish, 5 chromis, fire fish, cleaner shrimp and a few hermits and turbo snails! I added a regal tang two weeks ago and now have white spot! Not happy at all! So I now need to get a UV sterilizer on the weekend as I need to try and get rid of it! I have tried all sorts of things but nothing seems to work! Unfortunately I have had to get rid of the Regal tang!!!!!! Its worth spending the money on a good system, well so I'm told!! Good luck  |
