Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hello everyone!
My first post in your forum. I look forward to trading notes with all of you!
I've currently got a FOWLR 18 gallon tall tank with an Eclipse 1. 30 lbs of live rock, 30 lbs of live sand and a CPR Bak Pak 2 protein skimmer.
I just found a 55 gallon (48x13x20) SeaClear acrylic tank and stand for $50 so I decided to pick it up. I'm trying to plan out a migration to this new tankand hoping you can guys can offer some advice. I'm eventually upgrading to a 125 gallon corner tank, so my hope is that I can leverage my upcoming purchases for use in that setup eventually.
1) Filtration - what type of setup should I consider? Perhaps a setup with a skimmer built in (sell my old one?)?
2) Lighting - I'd like to host some corals in the new tank. Something for my pair of perculas!
3) Anything else I should be thinking about?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Jeff
