Re: Looking to Start a Salt Tank
Yea, you can start a 20g Salt Water tank.
1" Sand Bed 25lbs Live Rock (Macro Rock) 240gph Nano Koralia You don't need a SKimmer in a 20g tank if you do 10% water changes a week. If you don't then I'd suggest a Nano Skimmer Heater Refractometer Salt Mix RO/DI system for water, if yo do'nt use it, your next posts will be asking how to get rid of hair algae and sponge growth. You can use phosphate removal pads but thats hard to catch up on those phosphates. Lighting- Poewr Coompacts for a Fish Only with Live Rock tank, T-5, Metal Halides and LED for Reef. Have fun!!

Re: Looking to Start a Salt Tank
You sure can do a reef in a 20 gallon tank. A hang on refugium is a great way to filter a tank that size, although a sump could also be used. Many people use Aqua Clear filters and hang ons but you can also buy them. I have a 20 gal sump on a 30 gal reef. Check out my recent blog post about how to cycle a new reef tank for some tips.
