My 50 gallon Oceanic setup with stainless steel stand

jeten · 09/22/2008, 10:43 PM

I'm planning to setup 50g 30X18X21 next weekend and here is the list of equipment I have put together so far:

1. CPR SYS 1000 Wet/Dry Filter Package
2. Euro-Reef CS6 Protein Skimmer
3. JBJ Arctica Titanium Chiller DBA-075 1/10HP
4. PFO 175 Watt Dual Metal Halide Ballast + sockets + reflectors

I have not bought the bulbs yet. Any suggestions?

Need to order a canopy for the lighting. Can anyone tell me how far the reflector needs to be from the top of the tank?

Also need to buy the cooling fans for the canopy and the moon lights but running out of money now. Is anyone selling on RC for cheap?

I will post some pictures in a couple of days. Any suggestion and/or recommendations are most welcome.
