    Newb here! (obviously...) Ive been researching the hobby for almost a year now, finally decided (and ordered) a Marineland Corner-flow 180g and a custom 36" high stand and canopy. Going to go with a 75g sump with a Reef Octopus NWB-200 skimmer and a Mag-12 return pump. But my hangup kinda occurred when I got to the things outside of the sump....like Carbon and GFO reactors, bio-pellet reactors, and just the basics around general plumbing and flow. What are the known resources for a beginner to reference when it comes to these elements of the game? I've done some forum research on the various forums, but they kinda have me all over the place! Lol....so any recommended beginner links would be appreciated! ;D
