DOJOLOACH Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 What is everyones thoughts? I was thinking only a heater and powerheads would be necessary. Maybe a cheap led light strip too. That is of course assuming there is sufficient live rock and weekly water changes taking place. What do you guys think? Reason I ask is because I need to rehome a couple of my smaller fish. 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I'd do an hob filter to keep the tank clean. Otherwise, heater, powerhead, any light for fish 1 Quote Link to comment

mcarroll Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Equip and decorate it like a freshwater tank....salt has the same requirements other than the salt mix. (Bio filters can take a little longer to establish if you're doing it the old fashioned way.) That is to say, you need heat, some kind of bio-filter, a little water movement, and decorations to make it naturalistic which will reduce stress. HOB filters are very popular on this kind of tank for good reason. Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 1: Waterproof, fish-safe container (preferably transparent) 2: Source of water movement (pump, filter, gnome with stirring spoon) 3: Heat source (unless coldwater, in which case cold source) 4: Location/s for bio-filter to live (live rock, filter media, etc) 5: Fish hiding spots 6: Lid You should have some amount of light, but the ambient light from a room will work fine in terms of fish welfare. Not great for viewing, but it's all you need to keep them healthy. Quote Link to comment
