Hello, I am a long time freshwater keeper, and about a yr ago I started a 15Gal reef tank full with some lps, sps, and zoas. I am finding that I want a bigger thank, as I get rid of some freshwater tanks. I was hoping the community could help me pick out some equipment based off of experience. I was able to keep my 15Gal thriving so I believe I am ready for the work involved, I just dont have the know-how to not make costly first time buyers mistakes (in this side of the hobby.)
I have picked out a 90Gal "reef ready" tank from my LFS and it is drilled with overflow installed
(the tank I have picked is not rimless and has glass lids, but is the same tank as this one)
I also will have a stand and I have a spare 20Gal tank, I was wondering if that was going to be a big enough sump.
Everything else I was going to let the community recommend items on, and I would go with the most popular Picks, (pumps, heaters, skimmers, lighting, etc.) I am not rich, but I am willing to stretch out the build process long enough to afford higher priced items, if they are worth the extra money, and this will not be a quick project anyways.
Thanks guys, I know I am asking a lot of you, but I will need help building my first tank, and I know a lot of you would love to help me upgrade from a 15Gal to a 90.
To bad nobody has yet made a "Part builder" guide like they have in the Computer world...
Thanks!
