• at first there was the sea..... (advice on the new sea)

  • Jason9952

Initially, there were two configurations for the nano. The first configuration is an aquarium measuring 36x36x30, which is already available. The second setup includes a hanging filter, Aquael FZN-3, with a capacity of 1200 l/h. There is also a Hydor Koralia pump, though I don't know the power rating or price. For lighting, there are either two Aquael Duos Marin lights or a similar one that is 30 cm. The heater with a thermostat can be either the Aquael Comfort Zone Gold 50 W or the Aquael Easyheater 50 W. There is no foam fractionator and skimmer; for salt, Tropic Marin or something better is possible, but only with the skimmer Taam Rio Nano Protein Skimmer. The second option is an aquarium with dimensions: Length (mm) 600, Width (mm) 300, Height (mm) 250. Aquarium parameters: Glass thickness (mm) 6, Transparency Clearvision. The lighting is AquaLighter 3 (60 cm black) with a control unit for sunset, sunrise, and temperature. The skimmer is Taam Rio Nano Protein Skimmer, and the heater with a thermostat is Aquael Easyheater 50 W, along with the Hydor Koralia. Please advise on the best options; we discuss and provide advice and ideas. Special thanks for the advice and consultation to Elder Mokhovich. It has been decided to choose a more substantial option, and there is also an idea to convert the planted tank with dimensions 80*35*50.

M-m-m... it seems that we have always referred to the reem. By the way, converting the herb garden (or setting up an aquarium, say, of 200 liters) will be only slightly more expensive than the second option proposed! (We kind of overlooked this in our dialogue). It's really a matter of taste and personal preferences...

I already have an aquarium, a stand, and a heater. The light is not great; I have a San San with three 24-watt bulbs, but I need to come up with something for the lamps. I also have an external filter, but it won't be very useful. In general, I need to think about it. I'm sorry, sensei, about the name; I was wrong and mistaken.

Hello, fellow countrymen! +1 for a larger aquarium (the bigger, the easier). Ryuha is smart - he won't give bad advice. While the aquarium is maturing, you can set up the lighting. For now, what you have will be enough for the rocks. If the lamps are yellow, I'll give you something blue from T5, just 24 watts. I might find something else to help you out.

AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING

Thank you for your support, and what should I expect next? The scales have tipped me towards launching an aquarium 60*35*25 with a volume of 45 liters of CLEAR VISION glass. The setup will include a sump with a Durso overflow (ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE WITHOUT A SUMP, it all depends on who we will be housing). THERE WILL ALSO BE A HANGING FILTER. I am also converting my first aquarium, 140 liters, into a PURE SHRIMP TANK with cherry shrimp, snowflakes, etc. SO I WILL BE WAITING FOR YOUR ADVICE ON THIS MATTER.

I would like to order a filter for an aquarium 60*35*25, preferably a hanging one or one that stands behind the aquarium, as I plan to start without a sump at first (there's a problem with space for the sump). Is it possible to make one, and what is the quality and, most importantly, the price? I haven't decided on the lighting yet, or I might take the SunSun 2 light fixture, SunSun HDD-800B, 2x24W T5. However, I am still inclined to have a custom one made with a timer and a computer for sunset and sunrise.

Regarding the pumps, I can recommend that I have never encountered any problems. You can also check the controller with a video description.

Jonathan6173

Message from "I have encountered them many times without any issues, and you can also check the controller with a video description." I wonder how many times you have encountered them if your profile states that you have a freshwater aquarium that is only 2 years old. Sorry, but in my opinion, promoting products should be done in a paid section. No offense, but it seems very obvious that you are doing this.

Reginald5073

What does it matter if it's obvious or not? I've been working with the equipment for a long time, and they have proven themselves well. If I said something wrong about the topic, I apologize. I'm not suggesting their other products, and there's a reason for that...

Brandy1134

Considering the start of work activities (man, now I have to work until 65), the work on launching nano is activated more quickly. Still, I'm contemplating a small overhead skimmer for starters; it's not expensive, and the environment won't be affected, and in the worst case, it can smooth out initial mistakes. Here are some options. Or without ultraviolet. Well, until I buy a Deltak, it makes sense to consider something like this as a first step.

Brandy1134

Why walk on rakes, including mine? Don't buy anything for the first time, take only what you need; otherwise, it's wasted money and a bad mood.

equipment option aquarium 60x40x25 current pump circulation pump, Fluval Sea CP2, 1600 l/h. Or Hidor Kolalia approximately the same power in the quantity of 2 pcs since it may be without a sump, then such a skimmer Resun SK 300 or such NQ-80 Dimensions: 180*90*420mm Chamber diameter: 80mm Pump: PH-1100 For aquarium: 60-100l Cost - 630 UAH lighting is tricky, still leaning towards LED, here are such options Light for marine Lamp SunSun HDD-600B, 2x24W T5. 2 pcs Or Aqualighter Marin Aquasis filter FZN 3 or something more powerful, please advise waiting for your ideas

Ricky9405

Also, please advise which osmosis system to choose. I want to get this one, but I think it's a bit expensive. What else would you recommend? BIO+SYSTEMS SL02 - microcontroller, pump, 5 stages, Filmtec membrane, 6 bar pressure gauge.

Robert5335

I swear I'm not doing it "on purpose"! BUT, I live in my own house and the water pressure is not "very low" at all, but rather "very high," and I don't use a pump. Overall, everything is correct! But what does the house have to do with it? P.S. Maybe I should buy a pump?

Mark9853

I live on the 4th floor of an apartment, and regarding the autonomous heating, I see the following from the pressure sensor: with the heating off, the pressure in the heating system pipes is 2 bars when cold and 3.5 bars with hot radiators. As for the pressure in the water supply network, I don't know. I just don't want to miss out, so to speak; I will install it without a pump, but it might turn out that one is needed. What kind of average system can you recommend?

Steven7574

What’s there to worry about? You remove the shelf, add a back wall for rigidity. You glue the SAMPS with two compartments. Something like that. Photos taken from here. Or like this. A similar story. A lot of information on the forum and online with similar aquarium options. Well, it depends on what your soul and wallet desire. Starting from Atman PH (ViaAqua) and going up... Just preferably, it should have a real performance of pumping 6 times the display volume per hour (ideally).

Debra

In my opinion, it would be better to redesign the sump so that at least a 60-65 cm one can fit. Redesigning is easy. Doors are also needed; it won't look very nice to see the equipment after six months, as it will get dirty and won't be aesthetic. There's no point in making a sump sized 40x30; it's better to use an external filter, as you won't achieve better filtration with such a sump. In the external filter, you can place live rock. It's also advisable to have a pre-filter for fine mechanical filtration. Anti-phosphate can be placed either in the external filter or in a reactor.

My beloved will also be launching a second mini sea project. Aquarium 60x40(50)x35. Lighting is planned with custom LED lights, focusing on price, quality, and beauty with a controller, so please suggest and advise. Although their price is concerning, if you can recommend an alternative for a reasonable price, that would be great. Filter: FZN 3 Aquael. Please advise on the rest. The goal is a beautiful aquarium with good colors, fluorescence, etc. It will mainly feature soft corals. Work will be done without a sump, only through water changes.

Alejandro

This is not much related to the equipment, but it's worth finding out if such an osmosis system will work for the sea? or this one?
