    Who recomends a UV sterolizer

    I guess it depends on what kind of tank you want to have. If it's a fish only tank then i'd invest in a UV sterilizer. If its a reef tank then i wouldnt even bother. I guess a UV filter will kill all the good particles that corals thrive on and isn't good for a reef tank. But a UV filter is...

    What size pump?

    People have basically said get a Iwaki 70rlt or 100rlt. 70rlt is probably more in my budget and 1500gph seems to be pretty good i think. Any opinions?

    Best sand to use for reef tank

    Advantages of a DSB are? I don't know if I can afford much more than 3" worth. :) It would probably cost another $60 for 1 more inch of sand. Is it worth it?

    What size pump?

    Don't get me wrong. I still plan on putting at least 2 powerheads in their. I currently have 4 in my 75g and I hate the way they look but you can't really do anything about it. I might have to do some investigating on those powersweeps. I've seen them around but never really paid attention...

    Best sand to use for reef tank

    Is 300lbs of ESV oolitic sand going to be plenty for a 180g tank? 72x24x24. That sounds like it will make a 3 inch sandbed or so.
