im new to saltwater

so ive been reading a lot and i think ive got my list of stuff down now.

i already have:
1 90gal drilled tank
1 30 gal qtin tank
1 sump for 90gal tank
1 hob filter for the 90 gal tank
1 hob filter for qtin tank
2 heaters for the qtin tank
1 maxi jet powerhead 106gph for qtin tank

i planning on getting:
4 t8 bulbs
2 reef suns by zoo med
2 coral suns by zoo med
marineland in sump skimmer
coral dip
reef master test kit

i dont think i missed anything what do you guys think.

 

Welcome to 3reef,

If it where my set up, I might consider using a skimmer in the sump, rather than having 2 HOB. Sufficient live rock will provide the biological filter you need. The HOB will provide the mechanical filtration with use of sponge or floss and carbon or similar product.

What types of corals if any are you considering?

I would also purchase a hydrometer.

Karma + for planning on having a QT.

 

Are you going to add any power heads to the 90 gallons?

 

Howdy and welcome to 3reef,

If I may,

1 90gal drilled tank- good starter tank
1 30 gal qtin tank - great idea
1 sump for 90gal tank - again great, what type of sump system?
1 hob filter for the 90 gal tank - with a correctly set up sump this is not necessary, consider the Koralia evo. pumps
1 hob filter for qtin tank - good
2 heaters for the qtin tank - 2 heaters?
1 maxi jet powerhead 106gph for qtin tank

4 t8 bulbs- bad idea- go with T5 lighting (6 bulbs with 3 switches is preferable) or LED
2 reef suns by zoo med
2 coral suns by zoo med
marineland in sump skimmer - not such a great skimmer, much better can be had for the same money

 

Ahh sorry I see the second HOB is for the QT.

 

alpha_03 the heaters for the qtin tank are smaller heaters that i had in a 20 gal and 10 gal freahwater tanks. im getting the tank used i dont know much about the sump i will post pics after i get it.
BlueWaters10 i knew i was forgeting something yes im getting 2 powerheads for the 90.
i dont know what Corailline means but the first part of the post makes no sence

 

LOL, I misread your post. I did not see the skimmer. Karma is for planning on have a QT set up to prevent the spread of disease.

Sorry.

 

I agree with alpha that the t5s are the better choice over the t8s.

 

its ok
i like the look of these corals:
Neon Pineapple Tree Coral
Green Fluorescent Mushroom
Colony Polyp, Orange/Green
Trumpet Coral
Brain Coral, Favites

i like these fish:
Bicolor Blenny
Clown Goby, Citrinis
Clown Goby, Green
Diamond Watchman Goby
Foxface Lo
Kaudern's Cardinal
Ocellaris Clownfish
Sailfin/Algae Blenny
Yellowtail Damselfish
