So I decided to take the plunge and dive head first in to the saltwater side of this great hobby.
I have kept freshwater fish for many years and like a lot of people was scared/nervous to start saltwater I mean it seemed so daunting mixing your own saltwater having rodi and all that fun stuff that comes with it . But after lots of research and watching different YouTube channels which by the way are far to addictive.
So the tank I have decided to start with is a biocube 29 knowing full well I was going to do some mods I picked 1 up used cheap and have decided I did not want to go rimless with young kids and water evap I wanted to keep the lid and had decided I wanted to go with the AI prime hd so what to do.
Well I came up with the idea to cut a whole in the lid for the prime to sit in keeping the best of both worlds that I want . (Pics below).
Then to tackle filtration and after doing some more research I have decided on intank media basket and aquamaxx 1.5 hob skimmer with a couple of mods will fit in the 2nd chamber with no problem and once I have removed the first chamber baffles to stop detritus build up I think we should be ready to go with the next steps and decision making .
