58G Oceanic

Bob1 · 05/25/2008, 04:39 PM

I am thinking of purchasing a 58G oceanic with a built in overflow. My question what size sump/refugium should I use. So far as lighting I am thinking of using Tek Lights 4 bulb system. I might put some soft corals in the tank as well.

It depends on how much room you have under the stand (if that's where you want the refugium), but I'd use a standard 29 as my first choice.

I use a 20H for mine right now... I've got an external skimmer though.
