Alright so the tank is up and running. Already upgraded the pump to one with a 300+ flow rate. Rocks coming in sometime next week. Still not too sure what Im going to do for the fuge.

Ordering Standard fiji live rock tonight. Ordering a 45lb box, but obviously that all will not fit in the 12 lol. Some will be be used for a fuge eventually and the rest will go in my 55gal. Speaking of my 55gal I have had a recent bristle worm outbreak. I bought a six line yesterday, but is there anything else I can do?
Also, should I get 2, 10 watt submersible lights for the fuge, or a 5600k LED submersible strip?

Thanks, I was planning on getting one of those viper MH clamp on lights in the near future. Do you think this would be overkill or will that be alright?

Ok great, thats my next buy

Also hows this sound for filtration.
First chamber would be the foam filter piece.
Second would be floss and chemipure
Third= purigen and floss.
And once i get the sunpod/viper clamp. Have a HOB fuge probably out of a filter or something.

Ok, I found a really good deal on a 150w Viper Clamp on MH fixture. My only question is will this be overkill for my tank? I would have fans hooked up, so heat wont be a problem. Should I buy it?

i would go for a 70watt one. but if you got a great deal on a 150w then go for it!

Since it is an adjustable clamp, I figure I will just put it a little high, I guess. Thanks! I just dont want to burn the corals or fry the fish

Whats wrong with Odyessy? The main reason I looked into it was the big difference in price difference between this and sunpod

How much flow do ricordea's really like? I have mine near the top of the tank and theres a good amount of flow up top.
