    Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Saltwater Liquid Master Test Kit

    Jager 150 W Heater 13 inch UL Approved

    and python net.

    this is for a jbj 28g nano tank. my neighbor has the tank and he is not going to spend a lot of money, hard enough to convince them that they ain't putting 10 fish in the tank. So will this do the job?

    and if anyone could tell me the cheapest place to get this, that would be great.

    API is great for starting reefers, but not for people that want SPS systems running at very low nutrient levels as they don't test well at very low levels.

    you could try aquacave.com

    API kits are good for new tank start up.Relatively inexspensive and easy to use.

    going with bigals it looks like, can someone recommend a powerhead from there for water changes? figure it will make it easier than trying to use pitchers andmaking a mess when getting the water from the 5 gallon bucket they have it in. will a rio 180 do the job? enough power to pump the water up 4 feet out of the bucket?
