Hello All! I'm in the process of saving up for my first SW tank. I just thought I would post what I plan on getting to see if I can get any feed back on the equipment I plan on buying. I want to start with a 50 gal reef tank and so here is what is on my want list:
50 Gal Clear for Life Rec. Tank
CPR CMB192 Wet/Dry Filter - includes CY 192, CS90 overflow , Bio-Bale and hose - $315 Shipped http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=CRCM192
200W Ebo-Jager Heater - $20
and a 10 gal sump (Old FW Tank)
Now I have a few questions.
Any recommendations on lighting? As I'm totally lost when it comes to this.
Am I missing something?
Will the CPR CMB192 Wet/Dry Filter be adequate for skimming a 50 gall tank? Or should I buy a protein skimmer as well?
Is my 10 gal sump going to be enough? Or do I need a larger sump?
Whats the going rate on LR and LS (I get a shady feeling when talking to my LSF)
And how much LR and LS should I get?
Thats all I have as of right now. Please feel free to let me know what ya think. Thanks for your time.
