New to Reef's and SW
 

Hey there, I have done a bit of reading and have been researching and putting together my setup slowly. I am curious If a moded Aquaclear 110 (refugium)(550gph) and a Koralia Nano power head (240gph) will be good enough to run a sumpless 25Gallon Nano tank?

I am new to salt water but not to fish keeping, I am low budget and also hoping to do something very cool with my tank in the coming months. I also have a 346W LED T5 and MH lighting system (Odyssea) for my lighting and am hoping to do a few softies (finger leathers, mushrooms, maybe zoas, and really want a xenia) and maybe a few LPS (mainly want 1 Frogspawn), Please if your able too I would be greatful for some feed back and guidence for getting this set up. I am still in the process of Creating a fish list but I am set on a pariing of Ture clowns (perculas)(black or snowflake types), Cleaner shrimp, scarlet & electric blue hermits & turbo/ astrea snails (for clean up crew) so far, other options im considering but open too are like gobys, dotty backs, royal grammas, small wrasse's, I wouldnt mind trying worms but I hear they arent exactly beginner types and if so I wouldnt be able to get an emerald crab haha.

Thanks for any info. Enjoy the hobby :mrgreen:

Well It would seem the True Clowns need a bit more room so I dont mind setteling with the Ocellaris counterpart.

I have a question, is 1/4" glass alright for a 25 gallon saltwater?

Hi and Welcome to the site, great people here!

I'm sure some of the more experienced reefers will be able to answer your questions!!

should be, but it all depends on height of the aquarium and what your doing for bracing?

personally would never build out of 6mm but lots of people/factory do id go with 10mm if it was me but 6mm will hold.


i like the 10mm not only for added insurance but because i am accident prone and tend to run into and drop stuff in my tank alot lol

Thanks for the info, I will have it basically on just an aquarium stand fitted for the tank. The demensions of the tank are 23.6" L X 13.7" W X 15.7" H, will this effect anything, will I need thicker glass?
