New tank

[stagofdoom]

Hey everyone. Right now im looking at apartments at school next semester.
Since I will be living in an apartment Im looking at getting a new tank. I have been looking at glasscages.com and I think I know what I want.
Now if we do get the apartment that I want we wont have a huge ammount of space.
I just want to get an estimate and such before I get the apartment to see if it will be able to work out.
I was looking at either a 40 or 60 square rimless aquarium.
I would order it all ready for reef and with a sump and everything.
I would just like your opinion on lights and protein skimmer and stuff like that.
Thanks
Ben

wow, doing what?

I know most tutition alone cost around ten grand or more though, so your still going into debt quite a bit unless your going to a community college

Hey,I started my saltwater tank when I was in college.

I would incorporate a refugium into the sump.An Octopus skimmer and a good T5 fixture with individual reflectors.The Tek or Aquactinics fixtures come to mine.

I know some people that can get me a good job. Great pay but horrible manuel labor.

yeah I just need to know what else im going to need. The site will give me the tank overflow and sump.
What about lights and things like that.
