Returning back to the hobby
Been away for couple of years and got an incentive to get back into it (or excuse, however you want to look at it :-) ). I have had a 20L freshwater for a while and decided to convert it to a saltwater after our foster kids kept bugging us about nemo. They go to a doctor's office that has a 100+ gallon tank with tons of fish in it. So out with the freshwater and in with the saltwater. I am going with the 20L for now to get started but have plans to get a bigger one later this year when we decide to move. I have had experience with 29g and 55g in the past, even had coral n stuff. So I kinda know what I am getting into with a smaller tank.
So what I have so far to get started is Chiller with capacity for a 60 or so gallon tank, a canister filter. Already put in my sand that I had from past tanks (cleaned it before dumping it in) and setup my water mix.
Things I need/want to get are lights, was thinking of T5's two 10K and two actinic, hang on skimmer. I am planning on getting some live rock sometime this week and through it in while cycling. Any help with this would be apperciated.
I have the chiller connected to the in line for the canister filter, would that be a problem or doesn't really matter? It was a late night and didn't realize which lines I was connecting.
Any suggestions on accelerating the cycling of the tank so I can put fish in there sooner?
Send me a message if you are interested in fostering, I can provide some information if anyone is interested.
