I bought a salt mix from HFF and got the salinity levels to 1023, after reading some posts about NSW and ASW I am seriously considering getting Takapuna NSW, but wondering about the UV process that kills parasites, where can I get this Uv sterilization device?

Thanks for your feedback, the skimmer was purchased through trademe yesterday, and i am going to get it this evening it is "Seaclone Protein Skimmer-with a Maxi-Jet 1200 pump" which can work in sump or hang outside the tank. btw, can metal halide light be purchased from hardware store, also how can i set a water proof lighting under the hood of the tank (the water evaporating and touching the existing lights?

Advice for a marine beginner Hi everyone, It’s great to see the amazing results you’re all getting in your setups, I am in Glenfield, and the stage I am at the moment is that I purchased tank (120CM Long X 45CM Wide X 40CM High), salt, live rocks, sand, heater, test kit, filter Aqua One FC1000 (but wishing to add sump), skimmer, lighting: T3 blue, T8 white and small fluro (not sure about specs) and all cycling since Sunday (test results from yesterday: P.H -7.6 AMMONIA-0.9 NITRITE -0.7 NITRATE – 9 SALINITY – 1021.5 Just few questions relating to current setup. 1. where can I get overflow box for a sump as my tank doesn’t have built in one, and what is the best sump setup (incl pump) 2. where can I get reasonable prices for live stock, and in particular hard corals, (Hollywood fish farm don’t seem to stock hard corals) 3. can I add “hardy fish†to speed the cycling process, and if yes; which one is “hardy� 4. is lighting sufficient for tank depth? Any help would be appreciated
