Hello Everyone,
I apologize beforehand about my writing, English is not my main language.
This is going to be my first saltwater tank, i thought it was a really good idea to create a Journal, so i can have a project timeline and at the same time get some help from more experienced reefers.
My initial idea for the tank was the Fluval evo 13.5, but after some trouble finding one in Portugal i started looking for something else.
To be honest i couldn't find any tank with similar size in Portugal, so i started searching in Spain and found a store with a really good deal on a Waterbox Cube 20 and i pulled the trigger.
Equipment list:
Aquascape:
I'm not sure yet what i'm going to use and i would appreciate if someone would help me in the correct direction.
I have a the following:
I was planning to use the Filter Sock, Chemipure Blue and Marinepure Gems and skip the things that came with the tank. What do you guys think?
Cycle:
I got the Red Sea Reef Mature Pro kit and later i realized that i should be using live rock with this kit, that's why i'm getting some temporary live rock from my LFS to help the cycle.
For testing i'll be using the Red Sea Marine Care Multi Test Kit and a Unbranded refractometer.
At the moment i'm doing my rock scape, i'll be posting photos soon to get feedback.
You would make my day if you could give me a little direction on the Wavemaker and Media.
Thank you in advance
