New tank, want equipment advice

hammerhead27 · 02/26/2009, 08:28 PM

Buying new tank set up for a 90 gallon All Glass Mega Flow with built-in overflow. I will be setting this up as a reef, eventually. Looking for advice for all sorts of equipment, such as lighting options, sump setup, which pumps, filters, skimmers, cleaning and test products. How would YOU set this up and why?

My advice would be to read, read, read. A lot depends on what corals you plan on addding to your reef. Also read the do it yourself fourms. Doing it yourself will save you money.

Welcome to RC hammerhead27 =)

yep, the best thing is use the search engine and read what has worked well for others then ask more specific questions for each one of those different parts of equip in the forum topics that specialize on them, that way you will be asking the people who are thinking about that topic in question not thinking about fish when you are asking about return pumps

yeah, that is way to vague. I would look at some build threads to get some ideas.
