getting started again

[hackteck]

well i haven't visited this forum in ages finally remembered my login/pass i haven't had an aquarium in over a year trying to get back into the hobby picked up a 90G reef ready tank with stand, sump , protein skimmer, adequate reef lighting and all plumbing for $200 super deal. it pretty much has everything i need except sand and rocks and salt. but i need suggestions on what type of power heads i should use in my tank

 

[Hondatek]

Welcome back to the forum . I personally use and am really happy with the jebao wp series powerhead.

Ah OK I'll do some research on those thanks

Vortechs if money isn't a concern. Next in line i would say tunzes. A lot of buzz around the jaebos. Then there are the old reliable hydors. Have fun!

another question the tank is totally disgusting filled with left over algae and corraline the guy hadnt had it setup in a very long time so its hardened whats the best way to clean it

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

Vinegar soak and elbow grease

[hackteck]
