I just bought a used 125 g FOWLR setup and got it moved yesterday. The current equiptment consists of:
Magnum 350 Canister Flter w/Biowheels
Seaclone 150 Protein Skimmer
Fluidized Bed Filter
300 W Heater
Rio 2100 Powerhead
3 x 30W 36" NO Florescent lights
It also has about 50 pounds LR, crushed coral substrate and the inhabitant include:
1 yellow tang
2 ocellaris clowns
2 firefish
2 cardinal pajama fish
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
2 hermit crabs
The livestock all appear to be in great condition and are eating well after the move yesterday. I am planning on upgrading the tank to a reef tank gradually. This is my first SW tank and am learning as a I go. I have already ordered a new set of lights (Icecap 72" x 2 VHO Retrofit kit) and making my christmas list for new equiptment for the tank. My plan is first to upgrade the filtration system and the start working on LR and substrate and then lights before considering any corals. I am planning on adding a sump and refuge in my basement. Here is my plan for the first set of new equipment.
Lifereef double overflow (1400 gph)
ASM G4x skimmer
Sequence Reeflo UNO Wahoo return pump (~14'head from basement, 1000gph)
100g Rubbermaid Sump and 50g Rubbermaid Refugium
How does this setup sound? Any other recommendations on equipment? Once I get this upgraded then I will start working on LR, substrate and lighting. Thanks for any input/suggestions.
