Hey everyone, I am new to the hobby. I’ve been lurking on Reddit for about a few months now and slowly gathering materials and I would like to get some insight before I even start thinking about cycling my tank. I know there’s a lot to learn and I don’t want to waste money starting too early. Looking to have coral, fish, and invertebrates in this tank.
Here is my list of equipment I have acquired:
JBJ 28 gallon nano cube
Aquatech 20-40 filter
Heater
5 stage 50GPD RO/DI system
MiniQ Nano Protein Skimmer
Refractometer
TDS Meter
Thermometer
Dr Tim’s Dechlorinator
Fritz Zyme 9 Nitrifying Bacteria
10 gallon quarantine tank with light
Aquatech 5-15 filter
Heater
PraziPro Parasite Treatment
Copper Power
PVC
I was planning on buying 30lbs of live sand.
I wanted to do 15lbs of live rock and 13lbs of dry rock.
Mostly curious about budget friendly lights (sub $200) for the 28 gallon, if they exist.
Also what is the best bang for my buck when it comes to testing kits?
Any and all insight is appreciated! Thanks!
