Alyciac327 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hi everyone, I am finally going to start a reef jar and I need to know if the items I am going to buy are good enough for keeping coral only. I did a lot of research and I think I may have what I need saved on Amazon but I just want to be sure. Here are the items: Lighting: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LWP37SD/?coliid=I1A6SGJSTTSSO4&colid=1QV18MXYMP9SU&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAHT5CE/?coliid=I1IJWQUE8CYLKY&colid=1QV18MXYMP9SU&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Air Pump: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKGB88M/?coliid=I1UQOJTO7525DH&colid=1QV18MXYMP9SU&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it Jar: https://www.target.com/p/heritage-hill-glass-jar-2-gal/-/A-10620266 As I understand it, I also need 1lb of live rock per gallon, correct? If you can confirm all of this or recommend something better in the same price range, I would appreciate it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
MainelyReefer Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 love to see another reef jar going up. The air pump you listed is rated for 420ml/min or about 6.6gal/hour. When I started my reef bowl I had a similarly small air pump that was 8gph. After a bit of growth it was too slow. Now I run 19gph in My reefbowl and have the double output version for my 2.5g with 47.6 gph. And I would look into lift pipes. That light will do great lots of people used that setup in the creative container contest. What’s your plan for a heater?

Alyciac327 Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 @GraniteReefer Thanks! I was thinking about holding off on the heater possibly just because my house never drops below 74 and the bulb should offer some heat. What do you think? Quote Link to comment
