Spend my money

Ok so if you had my tank and $150 how would you spend it.

Specs other than whats in the sig are.
emperor 280 with biowheel
korelia 1
live crushed coral substrate
mostly base rock with about 3 lbs of live rock
temp 76-78 steady
all params good.
tank has been up since late Feb.
Oh and I added a sixline wrasse. He is doing great so far and ate well after I introduced him today.

Any thoughts are welcome, more LR, equipment, some low light corals, fish, anything.
What would you do?

 

how bout a skimmer

 

+1 on skimmer.

 

+2 on skimmer,

 

test kits (calcium, magnesium, ph, kh, nitrate, phosphate, nitrite, ammonia) $50-70, refractometer marine depot has one for 39.99 right now, 5 gallon pail of salt $30, skimmer-but you could probably get away without one if you keep up on water changes and watch what you feed

The 5 gallon pail of salt will give you around 150 gallons, which could be 5 gallons water change every week for 30 weeks.

Maybe a RODI if you don't already have a source for quality water

Thats what I would do

 

think they sell a nano skimmer for bio cubes thats aroung 50 dollars.
you could get away with just consistant water changes. like egger said since its only a 20g
but it would help keep the lta happy.

 

A skimmer for 50 bucks sounds great if it works well. If you know where I can get some info on that skimmer, please let me know. Probably some test kits although I already test for ph, dkh, nitrate, nitrite. so I would need to test for the trace elements (Ca, Mg, Phos,) I have a LFS that is reef dedicated and he sells me his salf water for a dollar a gallon, for me thats alot easier than having to mix it. Also what kinda of soft corals could I get away with, and do I need more live rock to safely keep corals.

 

gues just google bio cube or nano cube skimmer.
not sure if it needs to be in one of those setups to work but it should be easy to make it work if it needs to be.

heres a link i just found it. Fission Nano-Skimmer | Current What's Next

im at work and cannot post pics. but it should do the job in helping.

 

heres one that is only 30 bucks. on big als site Current USA Fission Nano Skimmer at Big Al's Online

 

Ive heard alot of the skimmers that are being recommended are worthless. I have seen the fission in use and had one extremely similar. Do nothing but collect water, if u are gonna get a skimmer get one that actually does something. Heres a link to a remora nano, i had the remora and remora pro...awesome skimmers.
