There is no external plumbing required. All the necessary fittings and nozzles come included with the saltwater kit. Filter Media This kit comes with all the filter media you need to get the tank running and water sparkling You don’t need any other filter media than what is included but you will have to replace the floss twice a week or as needed. The carbon gets changed every 1-2 weeks or as needed. The biological blocks are good for about 6 months on average.

This is a vital piece of equipment as it keeps the filter running and water moving. Each saltwater aquarium kit comes with an appropriate sized quiet return pump. They include the needed hose and fittings so you don’t have to make any trips to the plumbing store. The pumps comes with 120v North American plugs, but international customers can request different voltages and plugs and we will do our best to accommodate. Do I Need A Powerhead ? These tanks have been designed in a way that the return pump will provide enough flow throughout the tank. We try to eliminate wires whenever we can. Depending on your rock work and the types of corals you may decide one is needed.

With this 12 gallon you have two lighting choices. Reef Casa Beam The beam is a great compact LED solution for beginners. It’s fanless heatsink design means it absolutely silent. This light is suitable for all fish, anemones, all soft corals and most lps corals. It is controlled via an on and off switch and will need an external timer to run 8-9 hours per day. Reef Casa Halo This highly popular light can support all coral types. It has a built in timer with sunrise and sunset effects. It has 3 different color channels to dial in the colors of the light to suit your preference. If you prefer a more blue look or more white look it can easily be achieved. The light is controlled via touch buttons on top and it will save your settings. The mount is included and the wire is hidden with the mount.

In a saltwater tank, the live bacteria living on the rock is the basis of the filtration. This is why we call it live rock. You can not keep a saltwater aquarium without live rock. When you first start however the rock is not yet live, it is dry. This is why we include the ammonia chloride and life bacteria. These two bottles when used together will bring your rock to life. The bottle of life bacteria contains the live bacteria you need, and the ammonia is the food source for this bacteria so they can quickly multiply all over the rock. We have premeasured these bottles for you so all you have to do it pour them in once your tank is mixed to the correct salinity. Pretty cool huh ? The cycling process usually takes 3-4 weeks to complete Bacteria blocks The included bacteria blocks are used as an additional surface area for these bacteria. Each box or reef casa bacteria hotel blocks has the equivalent surface area of 20lbs of live rock. They simply go in the rear filtration chamber and will be colonized just like the rock with time [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_position=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-mountain” add_icon=”true” title=”Rock & Sand” tab_id=”1701473284639-70d59a1b-634c”][vc_column_text] Rock Rock is heavy and one of the biggest costs of the saltwater kit so we give customers the option of adding rock if desired ! The alternative is sourcing it locally for significantly less than having it shipped. The rock is the basis of the saltwater aquariums filtration. It also gives us a chance to scape beautiful structures to place corals and for fish to sleep. This is the part where you get artistic. There are no real rules when it comes to aquascaping. Have fun with it ! Sand Each saltwater aquarium kit comes with sand. The sand is natural and harvested from Florida. We tried different sands from all over the world and decided on this one for its texture, granular size and color. It’s not too fine that it will blow around the tank and not to heavy that it appears to be gravel. Each aquarium comes with the sand already pre measured so all you have to do is pour it in.

Simply set to 77 degrees F. We place the heater in the 2nd chamber so it’s out of sight but still does its job. Digital Thermometer A digital thermometer is included with this saltwater kit. Simply turn on and attach with the included suction cup [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_position=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-tint” add_icon=”true” title=”Salt” tab_id=”1701473385601-82b1a8f5-c861″][vc_column_text] Salt It goes without saying salinity is a pretty important aspect of a saltwater tank. Each kit comes a bag of salt included. The first time you set up the tank you can mix it inside the aquarium as there is nothing living yet. Afterwards we never mix salt directly in the tank as it will harm the animals Refractometer This unit on its own usually retails for $99 ! The included professional grade refracomter is a light refracting device used to determine the correct salinity of 1.025. These units are highly accurate,, professional grade and with proper care and cleaning these devices can last up to 10 years ! [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row]
