Fluval Roma 90L reef conversion

[picokeeno]

I am planning on buying a fluval Roma 90 and making a reef... I read that the t8 lighting isnt good enough for corals? What would be the best conversion? Given I'm not made if money either!

It depends on what kind of corals you plan to keep - you'll need to think about flow too and proper filtration for reef as well. What are the dimensions of the tank? That will help us recommend a light for you. Also, you'll want to use ro-di water for a successful reef

I have read that when people say oh just keeping some softies but they almost always want then to upgrade lifting again! So let's just say most corals

I was gonna run a small sump and maybe also a hob filter so a little extra. Then getting to water from the lfs and mixing myself possibly using an auto top off system.

Dimensions are 60x35x45cm

Anyone have any opinions?

Can you take the top off?

There is a middle lighting unit and two side panels all if which are separate so i guess i could?
