Hey, Ive been out of the hobby for awhile and I just need a little refresher. Im planning on starting up a 55 gallon with fish and hardy inverts. Thus im planning on live rock, live sand, a protein skimmer, and some nice lighting. I just need a quick refresher on the following:
How much live sand/live rock am i going to need?
Is a protein skimmer and LS/LR enough filtration or should i consider more...(can filters, sump, refuge)?
What wattage should i strive for, considering hardy inverts like zoos/shrooms, and the usuals...shrimp/crabs, will something basic like 48'' 4x65 coralife aqualights be sufficient?
any other suggestions are appreciated, thanks for your help
