So I am excited about the new purchase I got today!! I picked up a 37 gallon column tank (20L X 18W X 24H). I love the dimensions, and have plans to make this a LPS only tank!! Big dream of mine, and my husband is FINALLY on board after the many pictures I have showed him!
Question is this. What lighting? I really like T5, and would prefer this, but with the light I have, it would only be about 2 watts a gallon. Fish store said it would be enough, but I dont trust them very much... The T5 works well in my 40 breeder, but I am worried about the light at the bottom of the tank.
Next question is what skimmer? I want a HOB that will do a good job and is quiet! I have a DIY Refegium that will go on the tank with Cheato, but I want a good skimmer. I am a firm believer they help withthe health of the tank....
All questions and comments are more than welcome! Please help me out with suggestions.... I love knowledgable help!
