125 gal setup

[denny80688]

I am in the process of purchasing a 125 gal to move my fish into from the 55gal I have been using for the last year. I already have a good canister filter designed for a tank up to 180gal and will be using that. I will however need a new protein skimmer and some better lighting. Looking for advice on a good skimmer and lights for a FOLR tank. I would like to keep an anemone also and maybe a few inverts but I dont plan to go all out reef setup with this tank. On a side note I will be keeping the skimmer in a sump and the new tank is pre-drilled with 2 overflows.
thanks

hey I have recently set up a 125 FOWLR and hopefully be upgrading soon. I am using the in sump skimmer Nautilus TE skimmer and I love it. It's quiet and pulls out a lot of gunk. As for lighting currently I only have 2 6' VHOs, not a lot, but will be adding a few 250W MH as soon as I can afford them. PC ligthting might give you the extra wattage you need for this if you're not going with MH for reef. HTH
