Hello all!
Currently waiting on my Waterbox 35.2 to ship, so I am in the process of getting the remaining equipment lined up. I won't lie, I am a bit nervous about the size of the tank, as most of my previous tanks have been quite a bit larger, but I didn't feel super comfortable with having too much water in an apartment. I thought about switching to the WB 50.3 last minute, but they were out of stock for the Labour Day sale. The idea is for a typical tank stock in terms of fish for a nano (clown, blenny, smaller species of wrasse), with mostly LPS coral. I may try a montipora when the tank is established, but I am thinking mostly if not all LPS.
My current equipment is:
- WB 35.2 AIO tank + stand + mesh lid
- AI Prime 16HD light with 12" arm (maybe a second one down the road)
- IM MightyJet 538 GPH return pump
- Nero 3
I have been going back and fourth with heater options and am stuck between an Eheim Jager 150W or an IM Helio 200W. I get the extra security of controlled heaters, but I am not sure it will be worth the upfront cost. I am leaning towards the Helio, because I know I will probably want it down the road anyways. I appreciate any feedback on this. I am also looking at an ATO and an RO unit, but these will be later purchases. Was thinking I'd just purchase RO water for the time being. I will need to think about where I can hook up an RO unit first. Messing around with plumbing in a rental is tricky, and my plumbing fixtures don't have any attachment threads.
Hoping to post pictures of the process when I get the tank!
