I got a fluval edge 6 gallon for christmas and I have finally decided to do salt water with it. I just wanted to see if you have any advice before I order all the additional things from Amazon.
I will get
5 LBS live sand
hydrometer
magnet cleaner
50W Heater
Salt
Thermometer
Fish Net
LED Lighting - I am getting LED strip lighting 6500k light and 460nm blue lights.
I will get live rock locally for $2/LB which seems pretty fair to me (from an established tank).
Do you think I will need a power head?
Am I forgetting anything important for the tank?
Did you use the stock filter?
My plan with the tank is to start with 1 fish, maybe a damsel? To get things going. Evaluate health of the tank and lighting. Add a cleaner shimp of some kind. Trade up damsel for Clown fish. Add a few small corals. And eventually add a blue starfish.
Thanks for any insight or help!!!
