Hi,
I’m a new member and new to this hobby and I’m playing catch up on a new 70g bowfront reef tank with sump that was set up for me as a surprise B’day present back on Jan 13th. At this point I have added ~200lbs of live rock that from an active tank that brought in some mushrooms, button polyps, a starfish and unfortunately aiptasia (I’m getting ready for my second round of Aiptasia-X today). The guy I bought the live rock from also threw in a hermit crab that seems to be doing well. I’ve been having the water tested and the levels appear to be going in the right direction, but I haven’t added any fish yet. I’ve been buying RO water but just bought a Kent Marine RO/DI MAXHiS60 filter and would like to get a water changing system set up in my basement today so that I can start making my own RO/DI and salt water. I am also planning on pumping it up ~12’ to the tank on the first floor. I’m trying to find out the best place to go today to buy the following:
Brute 32 gallon storage/mixing containers
A pump to lift the water up ~12’ my tank from the basement
Plumbing supplies
Mechanical float valve for and ATO.
Thanks for the help!
Perfecto 70 gallon corner aquarium
Hagen T5 HO w bulb lighting system (2-24" and 2-36") Marine-glo and Power-glo bulbs and reflectors.
Custom wet/dry filter
supreme Mag 7 pump
Marineland 100 protein skimmer
Sera 200w heater
Caribsea Aragalive Fiji Pink sand substrate
200 lbs of live rock.
