Default Starting a 4 ft tank.

&. Thinking of keeping marine fishes.

Hmm. May I know the guesstimate cost for the skimmer, wave maker and everything we might need? Oh and chiller? I've aircon at night and fan at full blast in morning - evening is it fine without a chiller?

i assume fish only, chiller is recommended(to prevent temp fluctuation) but not a must

skimmer
2nd hand reef octopus old model, $100
brand new bubble king/deltec $1k+

wave maker
brand new sunsun $30
can consider tunze for better reliability $200+

lighting, 2 x 54w T5
brand new hopar/aquazonic $50
i prefer retrofit, 2nd hand cost $100

HTH

cheers

Can start off getting some used items if on budget. Price varies. Bigger tank bigger startup cost.
