    hello first of all and now on to the tank really all you need is a protein skimmer i would recommend a ASM at www.asmskimmer.com like a g1x or g2 max i would ask rob on the forum or aquaC's are good too. as for uv not needed just buy a small tank for qt for new fish no real need, as for RO/Di water i would recommend it these 2 http://www.purelyh2o.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=60&category_id=1 or http://www.airwaterice.com/product/1TYPHOON and for anything else just live rock and live sand maybe lights if you need anymore help just ask again, and welcome!

    Berlins are good, no? AquaC's are expensive too, but look so damn cool.

    Welcome to 3Reef.

    I agree with most about. I would spend as much as you can on a skimmer. AMS G3 or even 4 or a Euroreef, There is also Deltec, and H&S, Schuram, AquaC

    So there is a lot to chose from

    well i dotn have a sump so the g3 is out. since its a corner tank theres not much room underneath. i have a space 13.5" wide x 17.5" deep by 28" high under the tank. and remember i cant use all 28" height. do u think i can get a sump that size?? is it worth it??

    o yes lets you hide everything under the tank makes it look better and also a sump skimmer will give you better results then a HOB skimmer but its up to you also through

    Go with the Aqua C EV120-180. It is the best as it uses air induction(not venturi or downdraft etc.). Alittle more expensive than the ASM G-3, however I think the Aqua C skimmers are the best for the money.
