Thats a start.
You got a skimmer,sump,reactors? How much do you want to spend on lighting?

Well,first of all, welcome to the addiction!!!!
First piece of advice: read the stickys, they'll answer most of your beginner questions, and prevent you from making the most common beginner mistakes. As for the lighting, it all depends on your budget, but if I would setup a new tank, I would go with a hybrid lighting system of T5 and leds ( I currently run all leds) Just one or two T5's and the leds instead of HQI (although I loved my HQI light I had before, I had heat issues in the past with it) and you're set for life. Sure, leds aren't cheap, but they'll save on the electric bill in the long run and the shimmer you get from them is AMAZING. Hope this helps and good luck |
