:happyfish Hi All- love the boards! I'm about to take the plunge into my 1st SW tank! I'm a lifelong lover of marine life and after reading books & boards for months, it seems doable! My tank will be a 55 gal FOWLR to start with. Will start with about 45-50 LBS of cured LR & a playsand substrate with about 1+ " of LS on top to seed. I have decided on my skimmer & 2 powerheads, heater etc but cannot for the life of me understand what filter I should choose. This is an undrilled tank and want a newbie filter to maintain, no complex sumps, fuges, etc. I understand the LR & LS will play a huge part in biological filration, but confused about what other filtration I would need in addition to the protein skimmer. Help!!! My only undecided piece left! Thanks, Jill
