It is 38 inches long if anyone was wondering. Is the protein skimmer a good one? We are seriously considering the tank

 

[Reef79]

Looks like a good one Red Sea has good quality plus
more gallons the better small tank small problem big issues. Big tank small problem small issues

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Awesome! This is a big tank for me, is the equipment high quality?

 

[Sharkbait54]

My lfs has a brand new redsea 90g? I think it's amazing. Absolutely top of the line.

 

[Reef79]

The equipment sounded efficicient enough for a reef Skimmer said 1000 liters that's only four times your volume but its only 66 gal I don't run a Skimmer on my 55 gal it should be fine IMO the pump called out ten times per hr. Which is how I sized my pumps lights are good as well it sounds like a good deal for an all in one system

 

[Reef79]

I meant sufficient for reef.

 

[Ibrahim]
