Hello everyone!
I'm a college student and I've wanted to get into saltwater aquariums for quite some years now, and I'm trying to feel out options and get as informed as possible before I make the plunge. I'm on a bit of a tight budget bc of college, so I'm also trying to find deals where possible. As of now I'm thinking about doing a real small set up, either Fluval Evo 5 gallon or 13.5 gallon, depending on how price and a few other things shake out. In these I want to start out with just some hardy corals, and eventually once things are going good maybe do some fish (maybe an ocellaris pair in the 13.5g and a goby/pistol shrimp pair in the 5g? idk, that's a ways off)
So far here's my plan for equipment, please let me know what I'm missing/what I don't need/better options than what I found
thermometer
Coralife
Salt
Instant Ocean
ATO
Gravity Fed ATO
Refractometer
Magnum Media
Heater
Eheim Jager
Test Kit
API Kit
Live rock
Caribsea
Powerhead
Hydor Pico Evo Mag
Heater Controller
Inkbird
Live sand
Arag alive
Media Basket
Intank
RODI
Aquaticlife
5g Tank
Evo 5
13g Tank
Evo 13.5
Would this be everything I need for either? Is this what I need for the media basket: Filter floss, carbon in a media bag, biocubes? Is the stock light good enough for acans, leathers, blastos, mushrooms, GSPs, and/or Zoas?
