i wouldn't say it needs to be drilled but drillign it is infact nicer lookign then a HOB overflow. alot of folk might say not to drill it as you may want to sell it after or if you decide to go big you can always turn that 55 into a very nice sump/refugium
the ati blue plus would be your actinic lamp. the aquablue special is a 12k lamp. to the naked eye it looks crisp white.
btw, drilling the back pane would be the "simple" approach. once you drill a tank, you'll be laughing at how easy it is and how difficult you thought it was.

I also just ordered all the test kits I'll need. I got mag, silicate, iodide and a new nitrate kit.
Did I forget any test kits that are needed for coral keeping?
I don't wanna get crazy but I will get what is needed.
Thanks guys!
ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, ph, alk, calcium, and mag are the only test kits i own. color is in the eye of the beholder. i don't like the purple lamps. i think they are a waste of money.
FYI, a 75 gallon with 4 lamps over it isn't going to get "great growth", unless your talking softies and some lps.
