Recommended Equipment for New Tank on Order

[lorng16]

Hi there,

I am currently waiting for my new EA Reefpro 900s (concrete grey) to turn up and was looking into ordering up the equipment so its just a case of getting the tank wet once its delivered. I currently have an EVO 13.5 and have gotten on well for the last year and wanted something that little bit bigger.
I have already got x2 Hydra 32hd's which i plan on using with this tank, a friend sold them to me, but have yet to get anything else ordered up. I have some rough ideas but would welcome any advice for equipment which i will require or which i must have.
I recently fancied a clarisea fleece filter so would need to get a relatively small footprint protein skimmer. Will also be looking to get an auto doser.
I am UK based so can't get a hold of everything as easily. Tank volume is 267lts (Nett) or 58gallons.

Thanks for any advice or assistance.

No one can tell you what to buy since that varies case to case and person to person. I can give you a list of needed general equipment to setup and maintain a reef tank but sounds like you already know since you have a tank already. If you have questions about different products ask away.

You're running 2 Hydra32HD's on a 13.5g tank? That's extreme. You likely only need to use one for now until you upgrade the new Red Sea.

As for other equipment, def get an ATO, I recommend the Tunze full size (not nano). Do you have a quality heater?

Welcome to the family! It might help to list what items specifically you have questions about. Hopefully some of our members from across the pond can help with the harder to get items.

Why don't you pop over to the "Meet and Greet" section and introduce yourself? There's lots of great folks here who would like to meet you.
