Thanks in advance for your help, I'd love to get a SW set-up going, but just not sure about where to start.
You will be fine with 2 perculas, a 1" sand substrate and fake plants/corals in a 12 gal nano You don't need rock if you'll be using the biowheel for biological filtration. Just keep up with regular water changes to keep the nitrAtes down. Be prepared to top off daily with fresh water for the evaporation too. Good luck and keep us posted!
