    yea i think i'm going to stick with softies for a while, i think i want to finnish my finnish stocking and get some corals before i get any new equipment. Then i'll look getting into the mp 20, i think it's like $250 or something like that and that's how much the skimmer was, expensive powerhead but i think it will be really neat, i would like to see some real waves in my tank

    haha one thing that everyone says about this hobby is you do not want to skimp on lights or skimmer, the most important parts :D

    do which one you can afford. like the others said, if you have a 4 bulb you'll be ok with sps, just have to place them higher up, with a 6 anywhere

    yea i like the fact of having whatever coral i want. I don't know much about corals, but it's just good knowing that if you see something that you have to have, you can have it, so long theres enough flow
