    Welcome to 3reef wrasse!!!!!! What type of fish/corals do you plan on keeping? How's the budget? The lighting would be affected by the shape/size. I like metal halide lighting. I keep my temp around 82. Try poking around the sponsors section here at 3reef for your online shopping.

    well i was thinking of a pair of clowns(cant have a tank without some sort of clown),i love the diamondgobys,and a wrasse(want to add last because i know they can be agressive).my budget is fiting a 150g but i was thinking more of a 120g.plus i gotta add the LR and LS,corals(probably some mushrooms,torchesa and hammers to start out)i def was thinking of a pair of cleanershrimp and a bubble tip anenonome.i know the anenome is gonna need quite a bit of lighting on it as well as corlas.i was thinking of Metal hilides.but never worked with one so if ya know a good name brand ill appreciate it.and i wanted to do the sump/fuge combo so that will probably be built from scratch dunno wat size is recomened for a 120-150g.ive been looking at the sponsors they seem pretty good.thanks for letting me join the crew too
