New 75g Set Up

neinhorn · 09/16/2013, 08:53 PM

Hi everyone, I am new to saltwater but have kept african cichlids for over ten years. I am trying to set up my tank the right way the first time, saves frustration and money in the long run so I am coming here for some help and advice.

I plan on doing a 75g FOWLR tank, the tank is drilled and I would like to use a sump. As for fish I am not worried about those untill my tank is up and cycled properly. For my sump and protien skimmer does anyone have reccomendations on brand or a better set-up? The live rock I plan on buying the majority as dry and seeding it with some from my LFS.

This is my starting point let me know what you guys think or if you have any other advice.

Thanks

I've had a good experience using eshopps skimmer. (S-120) it uses a Sicce pump that is nice and quiet.
Good luck!
