| First of all I'd like to say hello everyone and TYTYTY in advance to any help given. Okiedokie, I just got myself a saltwater FOWLR setup off of craigslist. Right now it is just sitting because of my current work situation, BUT it will be started running soon!!!! I have a 55 Gal w/ wet/dry filtration and huge amounts of base rock that I plan on seeding with live rock. What I'd like some info on is how much more filtration am I going to need? It came with two other HOB type filters that I'd rather not use if possible because of my number of outlets. anyone wanna help a newbie? :D Thanks, Pmonck | |

| Ty for the reply. :) I dont know the size of the wet/dry but it looks to easily be the size of a 75 gal +. Awesome, I wasn't entirely sure if I was going to need a skimmer.. so I'm glad I asked :) As far as fishies... not entirely sure.. it is my goal to graduate to reef so I was thinking reef safe fishies that I could put into a new home when I feel I'm up to it. I dont want the tank like a ghost town, so moderately populated with fish, crabs/shrimp/ snails for my cleaning crew. Nothing too too hard or picky just yet. I've seen skimmers that are really nifty and extremely expensive.. What do I actually need? Thanks for all the help :D Pmonck | |

| A 20 gallon sump (wet/dry), would be perfect for a 55gallon.
A good cheap skimmer would be the seaclone100. It's good up to 100gallons
Good starter reef fish would be: ANY Surgeonfish (tangs) but they are ick magnets Rabbitfish Clowns/Damsels must smaller Wrasse Anthias Hawkfish Dottybacks Blennies Gobies | |
