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
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?
