Hi folks,
I'm pretty close to finally giving saltwater a try. I've been running high and low tech planted tanks for about 15 years, currently a low tech 75 gallon. I've got an empty rimless marineland 60 gallon cube and stand that I'm considering converting to salt. Currently planning on mostly following the BRS 5 minute guide method with hang on filters to start with, probably a Tunze comline filter and skimmer. I have an Eheim Pro4 I could add on but most people seem to think that's not necessary or more maintenance. It seems sort of strange to buy an internal filter when I could hook up a high end cannister...
I would like to do softies and LPS, beyond that not wedded to any other livestock. Could potentially do a Redsea or similar AIO system, but kinda thinking that I should start with what I've got and see if I can really hang with the maintenance regime. Welcome any advice. Thanks all.
