Many Questions

Hi, i currently have a 75g tank, many questions on setting it up for a reef, deciding on coral life super skimmer or aquac remora, which would anyone recommend of others looking for a good priced hob, also looking for a good light. thank you very much i am a complete newbie when it comes to sw would like many tips i can get

 

I'd go for a superskimmer between those two just because I have superskimmer experience and it works pretty well. People also speak very highly of the Bullet Skimmer and the Octopus Skimmer.

 

I have the remora pro in a 72g. Works great. No adjustments or tuning required.

 

ok thank you very much could i get a link to those last too skimmers and a good place too get rock an how much would you recommend for a 75g tank and possiblity of live rock and lace rock together thank you for the help

 

I would recommend the Remora, extremely easy setup and no adjustments needed. I use a maxi jet 1200 pump with it.

As for the rock, I would get base rock. If you want to get it offline, I would recommend bulkreefsupply.com or reefcleaners.com, both sponsors of this site and very nice to do business with.

What type of lighting are you looking for? Mh, T5...

 

i think t5 lighting im looking to get about 80 to 120 pounds over some time looking for some ideas on doing so possibly starting with a fowlr then going to a reef tank

 

I'd stay away from the lace rock and stick with base rock and some LR to seed it. I'm not sure if Lace rock is really reef safe. I used it in my first tank and had nothing but problems. It's unlikely that the Lace rock caused it but I wanted to do everything different this time around. Live rock wasn't really available or common when I did my first tank so lace was really the only option. Stick with rock that came from the sea to be on the safe side. Just my $0.02.

That Lace rock is in my Cichlid tank now by the way.

 

ok thank you for the advise do you have some good recommendations i live around nashville tn for some rock or online
