I have a 65 gallon tank that is 24" deep. I don't have lights yet. I plan to set up a reef tank and I have not decided what type of lights to go with yet. Any suggestions?

My tank didn't come with a lid. I was planning on making one out of plexiglass. My question is: Do I need a lid? Will it interfer with light transmission?

That area on my sump has a lid.

thanks, I didn't calculate all of that but I will now.

So I just got my system set up last night. Filled it with tap water to check for leaks and make sure everything worked. I filled the tank and as it got full water starting filling the sump, as planned. When I turned on the pump everything worked and of course the water in the sump dropped...

Setting up my first Reef tank. Just purchased a 65gal tank with overflow and a sump. Got it all setup last night well except for the pump. Having a hard time finding a nozle connector for my pump. Anyway I plan to add water later this week. I also plan to purchase some live rock for a local...

thanks for the advice. I do believe I will stay away for the super cheap stuff from homedepot then.

I've read that childrens play sand, like the kind put in sand boxes can work. I'm not an expert by anymeans, in fact I'm in the same situation as you. I'm looking for sand for my reef tank. I'm leaning toward a 50% mix of live sand with sand from Homedepot and live rocks.

I just bought a 65G with a overflow system with pre-drilled holes for a sump. When connecting my overflow pipes some are threaded and some are smoothe. I am going to use plumbers tape on the thread to reduce leaks, but I don't know if I should use plumber glue to hold the smoothe pipes...

ok thanks I will look as some new ones. The seaclear II is acrylic so I assume I could drill a hole and create a tank with an overflow system.

I found this one used for $250. comes with oak stand and hood, no light or pump. 75lbs of live rock and 50lbs of sand.

I don't have one yet. I want to make sure I buy one that fits my needs. I'm looking at a 65 seaclear II with a built in the back filter just like a Nano tank or at least that is how the guy describes it. I'm new to this so that description doesn't mean much to me.

I'm setting up my first saltwater tank. I want to set up a reef tank. Since this is my first time I will be taking it very slow and doing all the correct steps to avoid wasting mega dollars. So do I need a sump? and if so any advice on how to set one up would be greatly appreciated.

yeah I want anenomes and clownfish as well.

excellent. Thanks for all the advice. Hopefully one day I will have the knowledge to pass on to newbies.

I'm going to stick with soft corals. I will not say money is not an option, but I'm getting a nice tax return so I don't want to skimp on what I've read can be a very very important component.

thanks, I plan on purchasing a tank this week and starting the cycle this weekend. If everything goes as planned I should have a tank. If I get the tank by the weekend, should I add the rock to an uncycled tank or wait until it cycles and then add?

I have the opportunity to buy some live rock local. The catch is the seller is going to give it back to the LFS after this weekend. Its super cheap. The other catch is I don't have an aquarium at the moment. I"m currently in the process of purchasing a 65 gallon tank. My question is, If I...

I'm new to the hobby and I'm currently looking to buy a 55-70 gal tank. I would like to set up a system to sustain a fish and coral tank, but I'm confused about all the light choices. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
