Hello everyone my name is Harry and I'm new to the hobby I first got into saltwater aquariums about a year ago and was a complete newbie and made lots of mistakes. I had a fish only saltwater 50 gallon cube after cycling the tank and being patient I added a pair of clown fish until one day my tank got the famous ick after treating with copper treatment supplied by my lfs they didn't pull through, after this incident I gave up until I could afford the right equipment or atleast to a standard that I was happy with as I'm am really fascinated in the saltwater hobby.
Funds are still very limited at the moment and I've recently purchased a 2nd hand pre drilled tank, I'm not to sure how big the tank is until I fill it and note how much it holds as the guy I bought it from wasn't sure.
I've also been given a 140L 4ft in length tank which I want to convert into a sump/refugium, although it's enormously bigger than my DP would there be any repercussions in having a huge sump/refugium?
The reason I ask is I am still a newbie and was planning this all with the intention that eventually I will upgrade my display tank in the near future to something in the 100gallon range but am making do with what I can afford
Apologies for the terrible grammar.
Any feedback or advice to point me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
