Hi,

My name is Loc Chau, from Frederick MD. Just started in the hobby, know nothing about saltwater and still got lots to learn. Just get 120 Gal saltwater aquarium from a friend of my sister (out of the hobby). I just install a used PM 36X16X16 sump and an OCTO 150S skimmer and 2 vipavistra 150W lights, he used to use an FX-6 canister filter and coralife T5 dual lamp fixture. Tank have about 50 LBs of liferock will get some more, 3 clownfish, one yellow tang, one naso tang, one small blue tang, one sailfin tang, 2 yellow tail damsels and 2 domino damsels. No reef but have 2 toadstool leather corals. I am open to any suggestion and/or recommendation, thank you in advance.

Hello, Loc Chau

Adding your sump and protein skimmer is a great call

Get a 4 stage RO/DI unit with a built-in TDS meter, use that pure water for everything you do, including top off water.

If you don't have an auto top off, the Tunze 3155 is held in high regard.

Thanks for taking the time, and Welcome to Reef 2 Reef!
