Help: I'm returning to the hobby after a 4 year sabbatical (I moved from OH to SC 4 years ago and lost 2 reefs (75 & 55 gal) and 2 55 gal. fish only tanks - everything died during the move).
I'm now in the process of setting up a 120 gal. Berlin type reef - All Glass aquarium with 2 internal overflows, 2x 250 watt 20,000k metal halide 2x 40 watt actinics. I'd like some advice on the following:
BEST sump mounted protein skimmer (regardless of price)?
Is my lighting sufficient for hard/soft corals? (I'm recycling some old equipment)
What is the current opinion on wet dry filters (I also have a 13 year old Lifereef w/d)?
BEST source of live rock (Mail order, my LFS suck, I used to use Flying Fish)?
Advice on Ozone - should I use or not?
