Reefing newb
hello everyone, i have decided to take the plunge into setting up a reef tank
i was going to start out with a 55 gallon tank but after much reading decided to go with a 90 gallon it is predrilled in the corner and the retailer is calling it a reef ready tank
i am in the process of building my stand as it is cheaper and it will be better built than the ones i have seen for sale so that is where i am so far
questions...
i have been looking at the fluval fx5 cannister filter any thoughts on that??
it seems like a sump system may be easier in the long run but im having some issues grasping the mechanics of it.
i have seen cured live rock on ebay for about 4-5 dollars a pound delivered has anybody had bad experiences going that rout??
i have purchased a fission power protein skimmer rated for a 210 gallon tank, hopefully this will do the job and hopefully is a good brand.
anyway thats where i am any advice at this point in the game would be really helpfull
thanks
