Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I'm in the process of establishing a reef aquarium in a 55 gallon tank that is not drilled. I bought the tank, a Marineland Tidepool2 sump & a Pro-Series 300 protein skimmer (among LOTS of other things) from s LFS, dirt-cheap, just before they went out of business. My plan was to start off slowly & small, but I simply couldn't pass up the deal I got on the skimmer & sump... even knowing that they were bigger than necessary for this size tank. Right now, I'm running a Penguin 350 filter and 2 maxi-jet 1200 powerheads, while waiting for the tank to cycle. I hope to host a few fish, some inverts & soft corals. Does anyone know what I need to complete the sump & skimmer filtration system? And... should I remove the Penguin 350 after I get the skimmer up & running? I would SO appreciate any help... I'm nearly an hour from the next nearest LFS
