Hello,
This is gonna be a long post 8O
At this time I am still deciding weather or not to take the plunge on a reef aquarium.
It really only crossed my mind less than a week ago, but I've been thinking of nothing else since and have been doing alot of reasearch and think I have a clue what I need.
I currently have a 55 gal fw setup(48x12x18) and if I do this that tank will serve as my reef tank and those fishies will be finding themselves in a smaller tank.
Any way I'm hoping someone can chime in here on the equiptment I am considering to go with this set up, and any opinions and criticizim is very apreciated.
Coralife super skimmer hob protein skimmer 500 gph (125gal model)
Nova extreme T5 lighting w/lunar lights 48" 216 watt
90lbs fine sand
30lb live sand
70lb live(or maybe a little more, I have no idea how much room it will take up) I havent decided what type (more research on lr needed)
two maxi jet 295 gph models, do I really need a wavemking device?
Like I said this is still just rolling around in my head but, what do you think so far?
THANKS!
