55 gallon reef setup

[bobothewizard]

I need some exact specs on a filtration system for a 55 gallon reef setup. What im looking for is a complete Filtration system setup. I have a skimmer and a 4" DSB right now. What else can i put on for a filtraion system. If you say a sump, give me exact details please. I have no idea about sumps or wet/dry filters, please give details..
Thanks in advance

Hi, I would say about 80-100 pounds of live rock along with your deep sand bed with minimal fish load like one or two small[ under 6 in fully grown]and you should not need anything else for filtration. Natures filtration is going to do the job, but some were down the road you could add a refugium or sump to grow calupera to help if you have a nitrate problem.With LR and DSB and some good circulation you can have a thriving reef,cya...fixit
