LF - Powerheads/Heaters

[molotov]

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and saltwater aquariums. I've recently purchased a 100G tank and a 30G sump. The setup also included a pump, stand, current USA lights. I found a brand new in the box Red Sea C-Skim. I'm still trying to piece everything together and am still looking for powerheads and a couple of heaters. I believe I will also need a RO/DI unit.

If anyone can help with my shopping list I would greatly appreciate it. Also any other suggestions anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for welcoming me. I will get some photos up as soon as I get the tank out of my car. unfortunately my wife isn't strong enough to help me get it out.:biggrin:

From all the threads I've read pictures seem to get the most responses; so of course I will get some up ASAP. Hopefully tonight.

Hey Everyone. So I understand pictures are important. No prob. So what you'll see is everything I have so far with the exception of the bio balls. I know I still need heaters, test kits, LR, sand etc. If anyone can make some more suggestions to equipment I need to get a FOWLR tank going I will greatly appreciate it.

I do want to eventually get into corals and understand that will likely be a slow transition and I am prepared for that.

Thanks

Well I guess because I can't figure out how to embed pictures into my message I can't send the rest. I have pics of my lights and protein skimmer.

You won't need the bio balls if you have live rock. So basically you just need:

Live rock,
Power heads,
Heater(s)
Sand (which you don't necessarily need unless you're getting fish that need it)
Salt,
And probably about 100 visits to the local Rona to get all of the plumbing bits you'll need. (at least this was my experience.

Thanks Scherzo. I have another question. How do I post my pics in the thread without having to attach them?

[molotov]

OK guys, I have another one for you. I'm looking for a Reverse Osmosis system. I live in Calgary, want to start right so I'm looking for a water filtration system. My question is this. I see there are lots of Reverse Osmosis systems out there but would you purchase just an RO system or would you look specifically for a de-ionization system as well?
Thanks
