Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking on the site for several months now admiring everyones great tanks and trying to learn as much as possible, and now I think it's time to take the plunge. I'm going to get a RSM C130 and this is the shopping list I have so far:
RSM C130
RSM Starter Kit (are they any good?)
20kg Live Rock (my LFS sells Indonesian but I think I'll get some Fiji online, do you think it is better?)
10kg Red Sea Reef pink dry aragonite sand (is that enough or should I get 20kg?)
D&D Portable Refractometer
I'd also like to get an RO DI unit at some point, but I haven't got anywhere to connect it indoors & it wouldn't fit on any of my taps, could I connect it to my outside tap only when required? I'll be getting RO water from my LFS when setting up my tank, so the unit would be for water changes.
Is there anything else I'd need to get started or does anyone suggest any good alternatives for what I've got so far?
I have no previous marine tank experience so any help is more than welcome.
Thanks
