Hi lovely people
I’ve just joined the site. I’ve kept freshwater fish for about 8 years now but I’ve never kept marines and looking to break into the hobby.
Literally going to need help every step of the way as for some reason even though I’ve read a lot about it, it seems a bit like gibberish to me unlike everything I learnt about the freshwater hobby. Your knowledge will be very gratefully recieved!
Okay so i am not a DIY person so I will be needed a tank that is an All in One and easy for a beginner. I also don’t have much space. Research so far has led me to a Fluval Evo Sea. I like Fluval as a make. My current freshwater setup is a large Roma and I like it.
Anyone have knowledge of this particular tank? Is it good for a beginner? I hear it comes with the filter, light and foams etc. However it will need a heater and a protein skimmer? (Still don’t really understand this part) but can these fit in the compartment where the rest go without having to clutter the tank?
There’s an online deal at the moment to get the tank for £120. Good price? What will I need to get started? I’d like to have a relatively basic set up. Live rock. Sand. Corals (nothing fancy but those that will do well under the lights existing in the tank) and one fish and a hermit crab. Probably also some kind of algae eating snail crew.
I’d like to get cycling soon as I get it (no animals included obviously) I know how to freshwater cycle but how different is it for salt?
How am I doing so far? Realistic?
Sorry for all the questions but it will be a repetitive feature in this thread!
Really am grateful for any help!
