1. I AM GOING TO GET A RO FILTER. SHOULD I GET ONE THAT HOOKS UP TO MY TANK OR ONE FOR THE TAP????? 2. NEXT I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHAT KIND OF LIGHTING I SHOULD GET IF I GET SEA ANOMONES I HAVE JUST THE BASIC THAT COMES WITH THE HOOD.?? 3. NEXT WHAT KIND OF SKIMMER IS A GOOD ONE FOR A 75G TANK I HAVE VERY SMALL FISH SO THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A MESS BUT I KNOW I'LL NEED ONE SOON??? 4. NEXT I HAVE HAD SOME BROWNISH/GREEN ALGE GROWING IN MY TANK I TESTED MY WATER AND I HAD MY WATER TESTED BY MY LOCAL PET SUPPLIER AND WE BOTH AGREE THAT IT'S VERY GOOD ANY IDEAS??? I HAVE TO SCRAPE IT OFF THE GLASS EVERY 1 TO 2 WEEKS.

1. Normal RO/DI filter are for the TAP
2. Anemones are hard to keep, need very strong lighting, I would vote agains getting one. For FO tank 75G, 1 Actinic Normal Output and 1 10000K Normal Output is good
3. You don't need a skimmer now, but in the future, I would suggest with Remora Pro Hangon skimmer
4. Algea, did your tank complete the cycle? Mr Salty had mention about what cause Algea in some earlier post. Phosphate, food, nitrate, source water, lighting etc.
