• Nano-sea. Help needed.

  • Christopher8654

I got excited about the idea of setting up a nano-reef. I haven't dealt with marine aquariums before. Please outline what and how to start. The aquarium itself is 25 liters. Regarding equipment: Is the following suitable or not: A Kolaro light for nano. A Fluval C2 hang-on filter. A Tetra heater rated at 50 watts. What other equipment is necessary and how to start a marine setup in general? If possible, please provide a complete fact sheet. Brief and to the point... I know that the salt concentration is 30 grams per liter. For substrate, I will use Kolaro crushed stone. Everything will be filled with bidistillate.

And what about reading on the forum? Or better yet, the book by Savchuk "Reef Aquarium" - it's available online.

Point to the topic... I couldn't find it... And thanks for the book, we'll download it and read it...

So maybe someone will finally answer me about the equipment and lighting - are they suitable or not???

I hope for the sea? Definitely not enough, only 400 l/h. The minimum is 800, but better 1200 l/h, or additional flow pumps - the only one from the set that is somewhat decent, but I don't see a difference between it and the Chinese one (glass is glass anywhere), better to have plastic or titanium, but in the absence of better, it will do. 1. Hydrometer - definitely, 30g per liter - a shot in the dark. 2. Live rocks 1.5-3 kg. 3. Salt is probably more accessible than Tetra. 4. Tests for calcium, carbonate, nitrates-nitrites, phosphates, and alkalinity-acidity. 5. PATIENCE. 6. What can and cannot be done.

Lamp for the sea (Like an aquariel option - but there are many reviews that they break quickly.)... Seems like a fool but not that much) 1. Actually, that's what I thought. 2. I thought about 4-5. 3. It doesn't matter. Quality is more interesting. 4. Of course. Where would we be without them) 5. And without it, it's definitely impossible))) 6. Thanks, we'll read it. About the filter: Got it. We'll think. Either another one or really a flow pump. Although according to the same link - circulation volume - 10 volumes per hour. Seems sufficient. So where is the truth?
