great info everyone. thanks a lot! mike

so it looks like either way I should get halides. guess there's no way around it. thanks guys! mike

Who's got the answers? Thanks! mike

Here the situation:

Thanks lando. Couldn't I just keep the trickle part with the bio-balls and convert the reservoir area into the fuge? or is that not viable or even counter-productive? thanks again.

Hey guys, It's amazing how set you think you are until you start reading everything on here. I'm getting ready to set up my 150gal. I have a 39 gallon Oceanic Wet/Dry sump. Chould I (if I can even do it) convert it to a fuge instead? Or should I do sort of a hybrid? Maybe with some live sand...

I may go with that PC/Halide combo from Coralife then, because I want (well, SHE wants) to get a Maxim clam. I have her buying into this whole thing, I should make her happy right? LOL m

Hey darin, I have a 150 HIGH... would a 4x65 still be ok for a reef? Or should I go with the 96watts? I want to steer clear from Halide if I can, but with a depth of 30" am I dreaming? thanks, mike

I already got an Oceanic 3 sump... the one thing about it is, well 1: it's Oceanic so you know it'll hold together, and 2: it fit a nice 49 gallons under my tank. I was looking into making part of it a fuge, but, I'll just put some LR rubble in after the trickle for now. I gotta hit Home Depot...

Can't find anyone that has used one of the skimmers. Oh well. Thanks for the other info! m

Oceanic Model 3 sump. www.oceanicsystems.com Not much there except a picture. It's the one on the right of the three.

Seaham- How do you like that Reef Devil? Do you have the skimmer attachment? m

Anybody know if it's any good? I was looking into their skimmers and titanium submersible heaters. Anybody have any of this stuff in their systems? Thanks in advance! m

Great info! Thanks! mike

And no problems with it? Are you in Long Beach, CA?
