Hi All.
I'm new to saltwater aquariums but I am familiar with freshwater. I have 2 freshwater aquariums right now (125 and 200 litres)

I was gifted an empty 50 litre nano aquarium and it came with the following equipment
7 Watt LED light
Eheim pickup 60 internal filter
Fluval mini filter (45 litres)
Heater

This tank used to be freshwater

I would like to convert this to a reef aquarium but would settle for a fish only

My plan for the reef is:
Livestock:
2 clownfish
Star polyp coral
2kg of live rock
Live sand

Equipment I need to order
Hydrometer
Food
Test kit
Coral growing light
Wavemaker
Would this be OK bioload wise?
Do I need to upgrade the filter?
Do I need to add more live rock

Will running the 2 internal filters and live rock suffice.



I have researched lights and wavemakers online. I'm on a budget of €250 so here are the lights and wavemakers I found

Wavemaker:
Amazon product

Light:
Amazon product

I know I need a specific light for the corals
I hope the light above suffices, as well as the wavemaker

All advice welcome here :D
