Upgrading to a 120 gallon tank

[jonny_raff]

I was going over my check list of what i need before starting so i dont mess up anything. I currently have a 55 gallon SW tank. I was looking for your guys input on things i need! Thanks

What exactly are you asking for? A checklist?

 

[bribo12]

Is it reef ready or will you need to drill it?

 

[jonny_raff]

Still need to drill it! Im still debating between T5HO or Halide lighting...

 

[bribo12]

Just get leds and save a ton of money

 

[jonny_raff]

Will they still grow SPS?

 

[bribo12]

Yes for sure. Go with two eBay 120w dimmable ones.

 

[jonny_raff]

Good to know!!!

 

[bribo12]

Yep a lot of people on the forum use them

And then my other concern is a protein skimmer... not sure which is the best option for the least amount of money!
