Ya i think you are probably right .
I will probably try and find a 10 gallon at minimum . This project keeps getting bigger every time I turn around .. What a huge difference between the workload and system requirments of a freshwater tank compared to a salt water one ..

Well this afternoon my Tank and sump will be entirely full of RODI water .
My first stage sediement filiter (.5 micron) is very very yellow looking .
It has passed about 500gallons through it.So I will be picking some of those up today.
Luckliy there is a place in vic that stocks all sorts of RODI equipment.

So tonight i can finally add the salt .. Damn near a whole buclket i might add..
I need to get a QT tank asap , so i can cycle it and get this party started.

Tank details so far

36x28x25h tank , 110g
36x16x16 sump . 40g
(2) eheim 150w submersible heaters new
(2) hydro evo 750 gph power heads new
reef octopuss nwb-oct150 skimmer used
mag 9.5 return.
couple of temp gauges
vertex refractometer.. neet little trinket
1 250 metal halide setup .. ( likely need a new bulb )
mag float cleaner

Wish list
1.Some sort of controller
2.Auto top off system
3.Build complete RODI / SW mixing and storage setup .
4.Purchase spare (salt, bulbs , return pump, and test kits)
5.LED lights one day
6.Generatot or battery back up one day

And of course stock the damn tank lol
