My 55g project....hopefully.

I want to do more of a FO violent tank for my bedroom. I am looking at a 55g setup. Nothing fancy.

55g tank
No sump
AquaC Remora Skimmer
Airstones
Inexpensive 4x65W PC array
Auto top-off
60 lbs LR/ 1-2" LS
Stealth 200W Heater
1x Koralia-2
1x Koralia-3

I am going to start collecting this stuff over the next nine months or so. When I get back from the carribean, I want to set it up. I can collect the base rock a little at a time and keep it boxed up until I need to use it.

Is there anything I am missing?

 

Here are the lights you want...can't beat this price!

T-5 Aquarium Lighting: Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights

 

....filter?

 

if your looking at really cheap lighting, a place here in Wisconsin called Animart had these 48 in. t5 light fixtures for super cheap, if i recall they where around 30 bucks or less, i dont recall the whatts and this was some time ago....

 

With a FO, I am not worried about lighting at all. I actually have an el-cheapo 4x55W PC that will do. I am going to put 65W bulbs in it and call it good. No corals are going in this one at all. The fish will eat them. I want violence. I want blood. I want fish pieces floating around in the end.

Do I really need a filter (like a canister filter)?
