Hey Billaney
I always thought a marine tank would only ever be a dream. Than I said to myself oneday, just do it! :bounce: :bounce: glad I did now.
I have the 850, when it was fish only we used the existing filter that came in the hood plus we also used the Jebo 819 cannnister filter, plus we added a pump to create water movement in the tank. The fluoro lighting was changed from the stock standard that came with the tank.
A few rocks and sand in bottom and thats it.
I so desperately wanted an anemone for the clowns. So changes had to be made. The complete top that came with the tank (filter and lighting) was removed. We now have a hanging Aqua one MG 1000 mixture halide and fluoro (gave up waiting for my partner to make one) The jebo 819 cannister filter, pump for water movement.
I dont used a skimmer or a sump, those will be used when the big tank gets under way.
