Thanks alot for all the information i like the sound of a sump what size of a tank sould i use for a sump :thinking:

you can buy 1 already made that comes with a skimmer ect bu they are expensive. if your handy you can make 1 out of id say a 20 or 30 gallon long. you will have to get some plexi glass and make some bafels. you will still have to buy a skimmer, overflow box and return pump

i would say a couple of halides if your going to want clams sps or anemone if not atleast 260 watts of pcs

Are Night Lights A should have in a reef tank? Moonlamps?

 

[who dey]

i like to acclimate mine floating in the bag submerged in the tank due to temp fluctuations. Keeping it in ur tank will keep it stable. Water in a bucket can get cold (especially during winter n spring) causing stress to your specimen. Just my .02
