Balak ko po mag set up ng FOWLR for now so in the long run I can set up a reef tank (if I can
). I have a 50/45 gallon aquarium with no sump (balak ko po maglagay ng sump after the curing and set up ng LR) na as of now it's a FW tank with 1 discus. I'm on a strict budget so the lower the price the better! 
Skimmer
I have an eheim canister filter, a 10 gallon tank (soon to be sump), some powerheads, and heaters (if I ever need them, probably not). Ask ko lang po kasi nung isang araw (sunday) nagcanvass po ako sa Cartimar and checked for the equipment that I need medyo ung iba overpriced and ung iba naman reasonable. Naghahanap po ako ng skimmer for the 10 gallon sump (kung kasya) and all I saw there was the Queen protein skimmer which I've read a ton of user reviews and feedback from customers dito sa RP na bad ung performance niya. I've read naman na may mod siya para maayos pero I dont know if it's worth the investment. So Ive read on and now I have my eye on the Tunze 9002 skimmer na I think will fit the 10 gallon sump but I dont know where to buy it though. Can you suggest a skimmer better than the queen one or something like the Tunze skimmer for the 10g sump? I've searched everywhere pero wala ako makita na store na nagbebenta ng skimmer na yun.
NSW
My dad is planning on getting sea water for my tank from the ocean talaga (kasi daw super mahal ng salt mix na nakatimba) but I dont know how he can accomplish that kasi I think mas makakatipid kami sa pagbili na lang ng NSW from the stores from Carti so is it better na kumuha na lang siya sa dagat or bili na lang sa Carti?
SUMP!!!
I'm planning on a 10g sump, pwede ba siya for the tank? If ever, can someone give ideas kung paano ko ididvide ung tank to fit a refugium (which will have a DSB and cheato, I dont know where to get one), a skimmer and a return pump. Standard sized po ung tank 20x10x12. Hindi rin ako marunong gumawa ng overflow box and I doubt na magfifit siya sa aquarium kasi kakaiba ung aquarium namin (I'll take pics). I just need suggestions kung paano ko gagawan ng paraan kasi WEW
ang complicated ng tank na yun so balak ko na lang gumawa ng overflow pipes na lang pero I dont know kung paano siya gagana sa tank kasi, another problem, ung sump ilalagay ko siya inside a cabinet behind the DT pero 3 feet below siya and I can only use tubings not PVC pipes as recommended. (Ill post the pics here hirap iexplain eh ) Itong sump lag and overflow pipes lang talaga ako namomroblema(?) kung di ko to mapull-off baka di ko na ituloy ung tank! 
My mind is full right now with researching and everything about fish keeping so pardon me if I ask a lot of questions hahaha. This is all I can think of atm there's probably a lot more I havent ask yet hahahaha! Next post...
Pics pala bukas for better lighting hehehe
TIA!
