Ok, i had posted on the getting started forum but didnt get many responces hoping to get a few more here...
I have a few question about my 55 gal tank. I have a 90-gallon FOWLR that is pre-drilled. With that said, my question are
About my 55 gal in which I want to make a reef tank. The 55 gal isn’t predrilled. I know i am going to need some kind of filtration
Like a sump. I will be adding live rock. I am thinking of using
Tonga Branch Live Rock and Tonga self rock to hold the different type of corals and stuff. I don’t really know what all I want to put in the
Tank as far as corals go, I just know I want a active tank with lots of color. So right now I am trying to map out what I need to buy. I want to purchase all the proper material and items I may not of thought about. My budget is about 1000
I know I need lights, rock, a sump along with a skimmer. and some powerhead to push the water
So what do you guys think of this for my 55 gal.. Remember its going to be a reef tank and I want to be able to support whatever type of
Corals I decide to add its a 36 long 21 deep and 12 wdie. it is a bow front just fyi. here is what i was thinking so far...
