Hey guys, I need some help from you equipment experts. I'm setting up my new 50 gallon reef tank and it seems to me that I just don't have enough equipment. All I have is a Protien Skimmer, 2 PowerSweep Powerheads, and a submersible heater. Is there going to be anything else that I'm going to need. Anybody have a 50 gallon? If you do could you tell me equipment you use? Thanks guys.

Thanks Salty. I am planning on getting 50 pounds of live rock and I already have 20 pounds of it in the tank I'm converting right now so I should have about 70 pounds. I have to get about 4 inches of live sand because I have a Sleeper Goby and they require a thick sand bed. The lighting I will have will be 4 VHO 95 watt bulbs. That gives me about 7 watts per gallon. That may be too much. But I am planning on getting a clam and some Acropora so I will need very intense lighting. I may tone down the lighting a bit though.
