I kept a 10 gallon saltwater tank for a little over a year (fish only) and started my 40 gal AIO with the intention of adding corals, anemone, etc about a month ago. Here’s what I have:
Livestock = two clowns, a bicolor blenny, cleaner shrimp and a tiger sand conch.
Gadgets = AIO Nuvo Fusion 40 Pro tank, AI Prime 16HD light, Ehein 100w heater and Duetto ATO.
Here’s what I’m considering: Apex - is it worth the money for peace of mind in tank parameters? Are there better alternatives? Protein skimmer - I’m overwhelmed by options, placement, maintenance etc. RODI system - currently buying water from LFS. Would prefer something under the sink in my kitchen if feasible.
I would love suggestions for peaceful fish, hearty corals, useful gadgets, etc from folks who have been here already. I’m looking to blow about another $750 or so to get it established. Would consider more if you can talk me into it! Thanks in advance!!
