All IQ5 set should come with the tank, led and pump.. optional IQ skimmer and other stuffs sold seperately. Do check the acrylic surface carefully when u purchase the tank as acrylic is quite easy to get scratch. So to prevent any regrets after buying, check carefully of any scratches that may be caused during delivery or mishandling upon displaying.

Anyway, i cut off part of the black bio-sponge that comes with the IQ5 and added a layer of my porous ceramic rings for another different layer of bio filtration. You may wish to do something like that as well.

good suggestion thank u i think most likely i'll just try out IQ5 first and see how it goes. I most likely wun be adding in skimmer since 10 percent water change ain't so difficult for such a small tank. I'm just thinking how many lifestock can it actually holds.. Maybe 1 crownfish and 2 demsel and a goby will look nice but i'm quite sceptical about the size since i haven actually see the real tank in person.

got the first piece of equipment. I ask for the skimmer but the salesperson from petmart don't know what is skimmer I feel like buying the cover.. Please note apart from the tank I still have not buy anything. Can I buy the saltwater from the auntie at balestier? or it is better for me to mix distilled water with the marine salt? Please note I have not buy any hydrometer and test kit.. Still think whether I should buy from balestier since my house is quite far.. but if I go down serangoon north to purchase unsure if they even know what i'm talking about |
