    Right now I have a 55, a have 2 fountain style over the back of the tank style filters that are supposed to be rated to 100 gal each, but im mot sure if they are the right style filters for salt ( bag filter style), and of course a stand, everything else (filters too most likely) will have to be researched and purchased, I really like the coral with maybe 3 small fish, I have been reading about refugiums and sump style filters but im not quite sure what I need for my applicationjust yet, some is like jibberish..

    Welcome, I'm building my first SW myself, and My advice would be to go with a sump.
