Congratulations! I visited the aquarium in Lviv, I recommend it to sea enthusiasts, and I realized that the sea should be at home. I have a 62L nature aquarium, panoramic (I used to have a freshwater one long ago, there are photos in my office). Back then, through trial and error, and advice from the Aqua Forum, I managed to create a self-sustaining system; I could leave it without feeding and cleaning, yet everything grew, lived, and developed. I don't know if it's possible with a small marine setup. I'm a bit shocked by the prices on the websites) I reviewed and reread what I could and decided to take the minimal route, but with new equipment. I plan to use a FZN3 backpack filter, replacing the sponge with synthetic cotton, and using some "magical" balls for biological filtration (I forgot what they are called)) they say you can adapt a foam filter to it. There will be an algae scrubber in the tank itself) The light will be custom-made from OLX for about 3000 with "features," like day-night cycles and modes. I hope it will be decent. The water pump will be a Jebao SOW-3 from the website mentioned on the forum (Marine), and on the same site, I'll get salt and live rocks. The heater will be an Aquael Platinum 75W. The goal is soft corals, 2 clownfish, and cleaner shrimp. I would appreciate any advice on setup, equipment, stocking, as well as offers for selling/giving away/trading the mentioned items, corals, algae, and later fish. I couldn't find a salinity meter for sale). Wishing everyone well!
