Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - New to Salt Water

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to get more involved in the community. Been an avid freshwater guy and just decided to make the conversion to salt. I've been doing a bunch of research and reading and decided that although not advised, to go for a smaller system, the aquapod 24 gallon stock system. I want to start off by doing a fish only setup with some low light corals to get my feet wet. This forum is a great source of info, hats off to you guys! I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the stock aquapod as to setup and what other key components I should buy (protein skimmer? additional pumps? etc) Thanks guys. Also I was interested in keeping a dwarf lionfish - any thoughts on whether that fish would work in an aquapod and what else would be a suitable tank mate in terms of other fish and low light corals?
