Reefing newb
hi everybody, i,m a new member but i used to have a reef tank 40 yrs ago in england, then we used undergravel filters and i understand that these are a no no now. so what is the best type of filter to use. i,v seen 2 , 1 where a part of the tank has a section used as a filter and 2 where the filter is underneath with an overflow system <what do you call this system > . which is best ?. also lights, in those ancient times when i had a tank i used a sunlamp <the type used for tanning > that i converted , and i used to grow lots of caulerpa. but now i ,v seen flurescent tubes that would be cheaper to run, what mix do i need ?, it,s a bit difficult here , i live in thailand, so a slight language problem , i can,t get the info i need from the dealers. i plan on a tank 1.5 meter by 80 cms by 1 meter deep, is this feasable . regards john
