Hello All,
I am in the process of setting up a 55 gal FOWLR.
Setup will be as follows:
Sand/LR (35lbs)
Emperor 400 (may add Skimmer Bak-Pak if needed)
Tunze 6025 (or other comparable ph. feel free to suggest something cheaper 8O )
Questions:
1. Is this enough equipment if I follow the basics (ie. not too many fish; pwc, use purified water on pwc, etc)....
2. What lighting do you suggest if I know I will not be converting to Reef down the road. The tank came with a Coralife 50/50 which is described as 50% 6000 Kelvin natural daylight and 50% blue actinic 03 phosphors. Will this suffice? I have heard algae horror storries and would really like to avoid any problems.
Thanks to anyone who has input.
