I know I talk alot but I wanna make sure i'm doing everything right!!
So I have a 29 gallon aquarium. All together I have 2 power filters, 1 canister filter,1 power head (going to upgrade to a SCWD) about 1 inch of carib reef sand (not alive)
t-5 light fixture (36w), and a 100w heater!
Going to be getting about $100-$150 of live rock...in the next 5 weeks!!
And going to get a protein skimmer....
Sounds good.. I'm not a big fan of power filters especially since you will have live rock, sand and a skimmer. I'd use the canister to run carbon or GFO. The rock and sand, once seeded by the live rock is all the biological filter needed.
Maybe an ro/di unit and some test kits. Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate to start and then Calcium, Alk and Magnesium test kits. Also, a cheap refractometer for measuring salinity. The swingarm hydrometers can be very inaccurate.
