New Tank

[thewizzrd]

I am going to start a new tank, not sure on reef or FO yet but what is a good filter to use, and do I need a protein skimmer right away. Also, do you have to have an overflow in your tank? I've seen them on some and not on others.

Welcome to our BB. Do you know what size this tank eill be? This will determine alot of the equiptment you will need. Yes you will need a skimmer. And an overflow is only needed if you plan on having a sump filter.I also suggest that before you buy ANYTHING you read alot. Reserch filters and other equiptment,and get a better idea of what you want.Then ask more specific questions.

I've dona a lot of reading, I've also read a lot on here but I'm not really sure on whats good and whats not. I intend on starting a 55 or 75 gallon tank. I am leaning toward the 75 but It depends on teh cash flow.
