I posted this in another thread, but figured I would repost my own thread rather then hijack someone elses
it is really hard to find threads, when your a new guy to a reef site, I thought for sure i would get shunned for asking about fake coral reefs and sand and all , but it is my intention, to do a drop in reef from instant reef probably because theres look better then most I have found, and about a 150-250 gallon tank, tank needs to be glass, and I would like various types of clowns, and tanks possibly a couple of puffers. and of course about 150 pounds of live rock/not so live rock . I am not sure I am still researching an hunting for a tank and stand. Craigslist has a couple good ones but they are acrylic I want a lemar because I like the holes in the bottom and the overflow in the tank, not to mention the nice clean lines instead of white caulked corners. Anyhow I have a few questions for people like me, that dont know where to look to get answers for a fish only tank. Please help me as well. And thanks to the guy who started this thread it helps alot
What size UV would I get for a 150 gallon tank/ 224g?
what kind of skimmer is good but wont break the bank, reason I ask because with ponds there is so much crap that will last a couple weeks to a year then they need to be replaced?
will a fluval filtration system work instead of a sump? is a sump really necessary for a fish only tank? if sump what are the benefits of it to a canister filter? same reason as above.
is there a vendor here that sells inserts that I amy have overlooked when browsing through them? I want a whole reef drop in not one I have to peice together myself, that will come later when i Know more and I will use real coral. right now I want fish only
