Recommended Posts

I have a 24 gallon nano cube and decided that i want a 100 gallon reef tank with fish and inverts. I have no yet bought everything seeing that i am on a budget. Here's a list of the stuff i am buying and was wondering if any of it i can add later to my tank and just use the initial components to get it going for awhile.

 

100 gal tank

13 bags live sand

wet/dry filter

Protein skimmer

692 watt metal halide light

10 gal refugium tank

2 pumps

canister filter

18 watt uv light

150 gal salt mix

100 lbs live rock

2 heaters (300 watts)

I woud, get a bigger fuge, scrap the wet/drys and canister, get a nice protein skimmer, and not the LS. Live sand is kinda a waste of money, for nanos its ok, but for a large tank, just get reg sand and then get one bag of live sand or just a small baggie from the LFS will do. It will become live soon enough. 692 watts is kinda a random number, how does it add up. I would add a nice controller to that, and a closed loop.

You're going to want a sump. If you can plumb everything to a different room or the basement, you'll be much happier. No noise, no mess.
