36 Corner concerns

Diehl · 02/25/2007, 04:17 PM

Its been awhile since coming back to the hobby

But my wife wanted me to get a smaller tank until we get a bigger house in a few years. So with space a concern I decided on a 36 gal. corner. Any thing bigger would of been to much. Well here is the problem. I'm just wanting to keep mostly a fowlr tank with maybe some softies, what type of lighting can I get to fit the tank? Does anyone have this type of tank that could help? And the way the stand is there is no way I can put a sump underneath. So I was thinking of a very good canister? What do you guys think

I also have no Idea about a skimmer unless I get one that hangs on the back. Please help

You should consider a Coralife Super Skimmer, I have the CSS 125 on my 65. You can also put them in sump or hang on.

i would get a 250w Mh, that way if you decide you want corals later, you will be ready, also you can use it if you get a larger tank in the future, same thing with the skimmer get one that will support a larger tank, that way you wont have to upgrade later.
