early.... read...

Yes, I already understood that it's early. What about the nano reef? It turns out there is nothing there except for the air lift, and how does a beginner start? And could you tell me if there are any ready-made "Samps" as a mechanism? For now, excuse me for asking questions; I'm not in a hurry, I want to figure everything out myself... Thank you for the advice, PAVLIK MOROZOV. And I almost forgot, why is no one writing about heating? I looked at a lot of photos on the forum and read the comments, but no one mentions it?

In marine aquariums, everyone mainly tries to cool the water because it heats up significantly due to the number of pumps and powerful lighting.

First, you need to decide what kind of livestock you want in your aquarium. Two white-bellied fish may fight in such a volume. It's better to have one. Also, decide on the corals. As for equipment, you need at least a water pump, a skimmer, lighting, test kits, etc. And water. You need reverse osmosis!

Yes, the sea is not a cheap pleasure. But just look at the beauty! The decision is up to you. I think you can order live rocks in Kyiv if you can't find them in Odesa. All the living creatures are shipped in thermoboxes. Regarding the lighting, if they can assemble it competently and beautifully, then homemade is also an option. You need to think about cooling if you plan to use MH lamps. If you set up lighting with T5 fluorescent tubes and have an air conditioner in the room, the aquarium won't heat up significantly. In the summer, during the peak heat, the temperature in my aquarium didn't rise above 29 degrees. Is the "ready-made aquarium solution with sump, skimmer, and thermostat" branded or homemade?

Is the "ready-made aquarium solution with sump, skimmer, thermostat" branded or homemade? It's branded, from Germany and the USA. I found a company for equipment Aquael (Aquael) from Poland - what do you think, and it costs twice as less for the set? And also, what should I not skimp on? I decided to buy everything separately and sequentially - aquarium, skimmer, pumps, and then the sump. Regarding lighting and cooling, yes, there is an air conditioner. By the way, clownfish live with anemones, but what about the mourning clownfish? It is said that it does not depend on anemones.

My advice: It's not worth saving on anything!! If you can't get it all at once, it's better to wait. Regarding clownfish and anemones. They live perfectly well in the aquarium without them. Of course, it's interesting to observe the symbiosis, but anemones are delicate creatures, and there are cases when they get caught in the flow pumps, etc. So think about it.

Thank you all very much for the advice. I am very grateful. I think I will gather everything gradually. This way, I will have quality equipment, and it won't cost so much money all at once. So now it's just a matter of time.

I saw that you are selling your aquarium. Have you sold it already?
Patricia
Not yet. The aquarium will be ready for sale closer to the end of February, as the new one is still in the process of being made.
Lindsay
Oh, interesting, what is the volume, and how can we discuss the price?
Jeanne
The price can be discussed; if you're interested, I can send my phone number in a private message.
Jesse
It's already interesting. Send me your phone number, I'll call and we can chat and make arrangements.

I was in an Odessa store today. People are strange there; a person who knows about the sea no more than I do, even though I've just started, is trying to sell me an Aqua Medic set for 280 liters. He tells me that he is a distributor for this company and has been working with them since 1998, claiming it can't get any better. Well, for that price, I think it definitely can't get any better. When I asked what kind of light is there, he answered, "For a marine aquarium." A specific answer, nothing more to say.
