Hi,
About me: Before my higher education period I had a 50 gl freshwater aquarium but I have been away from it for nearly 10 years.
But recently I inherited a large 132gl aquarium which I am thinking of using it to setup a saltwater aquarium. I was searching the web for some few days to learn about new pumps and different filter types, live rocks, etc but I am still a little confused on what would be the initial estimation on the equipment and decoration.
The aquarium that I inherited has the furniture and good T5 lightening on the lid I was thinking to get the following equipments but I am not sure that this is all that I will need to setup a nice aquarium or the amount of equipment that I anticipated is matching the aquarium size or not.
- 2 EHEIM Jager Aquarium Thermostat Heater 150W
- 2 EHEIM Classic 250 External Canister Filter 2213
- Coralife Super Skimmer with Pump, 125 gl model
- Tetra 26076 Whisper Air Pump, 300
- 2 Hydor Usa Inc AHYP29201 3.5-Watt Koralia Nano Water Pump 425 GPH
- 1 Live Rock matching the aquarium size
- Some check valves and plumbing accessories and pipes.
- APC P6GC 6 Outlet, for automatic lights off and on.
Any thought on my choice of equipments and whether they suffice or not..
Thank you.
