It's been about 10 years since I have had a saltwater tank setup and have lost my knowledge on what's good and what's not now. I just purchased a 150 gal Saltwater tank. Included was a 36" Wet/Dry filter with a hercules pump.
Also included were:
2-300 watt submersible heaters
4 power heads
I need to know what type of
Protein Skimmer everyone suggest for this size tank and also how big of a pump do I need to run this filter on. This pump doesn't have asize on it and didn't work when we got it so we have to buy another one. We bought the tank at a steal when someone needed money. Only thing was it was VERY Dirty and had to be throughly cleaned!!
Things I will be purchasing:
Live Sand (2-3 inches deep)
Live Rock (fiji.. approx 75lbs)
Base Rock (approx 100 lbs)
Protein Skimmer
2 new power heads (need to know what gph I should buy.. I don't know what size the other 4 I have are.. but need to know I have 2 good ones to depend on)
Sterilizer (what wattage???)
Refractometer
Dosing Pump (Any suggestions)
I'm also looking for great places to purchase these items from. If anyone has any links or places (in Kentucky) that has these items CHEAPPPPP... Then email me with their address or link and I will bless you dearly!!
Hope to hear from everyone there and get this baby rolling... I have a long hard journey ahead of me and need all the suggestions and help that I can get.
