Hi,
Helping a friend--

What's the wattage for 4 x2x2 marine, mainly soft corals like yellow ballon, potted corals, anemone, tube worms etc...

What's should the bioload be like?

Ph around 8.6?

what should be the ideal KH, can baking soda use to push up KH?

..and any other pointers that helps, tank is cycled now, just t0 know maintainence...

for 4x2x2 is abt 120g. u need at least 350w. or higher.
anemone need strong lights.

for ph. u need to maintain it around 8 - 8.3
u need to maintain calcium and kh as well for corals.
prepare to spend at least 2-5k on all ur equipments

pls let ur tank cycle for at least 4weeks.

*i tot u told me marine will cause ur cabinet, housing equipment to rust, still want to go into marine.
think twice first.
