My First Saltwater Tank! | WaterBox 20g | Day 1

[725REEFER]

Hello everybody!

I just made the plunge into my first fish tank and went to my LFS and purchased an Waterbox Nano 20 gal!

Seems like it came with:

- Sock Filter
- Return Pump
- Media Contents
- The Tank (obviously)

What else do I need besides;

- Light ( Looking to pickup an AI Prime 16 thoughts? )
- ATO ( Is this recommended for a 20 gallon)
- Anything else I need please let me know! Will be much appreciated.

I'm still deciding the livestock I want to put in this tank so, any suggestions let me know!

(PS: Will keep everyone updated with pictures as the weeks/months go by)

A powerhead for additional water flow. A heater to keep the water warm enough. ATO are nice to have for sure. Have fun!

Get a needle protein skimmer, they do the job

here is my 180 gallon rim less with a 60 gallon sump, I skim heavy to get this pretty of a tank

I picked up a few additions in the past few hours couldn't hold myself back.

- AI Prime 16 for lighting
- AI Nero 3 for my powerhead
- Also decided to upgrade the return pump to a MightyJet Desktop AIO DC Return Pump (326 GPH).


I've been watching different videos and looking at some different threads about the tank I have. People highly disregard using a filter sock? Why is this the case and what are the upgrades that I can get?

Looking to start out right and not cut any corners so, if anyone wants to keep suggesting much appreciated! Thank you.
