I appreciate all the input.
How "intense" of a skimmer should I be looking at.
They seem to run anywhere from a few bucks to a few hundred. Will the "Berlin Type" suffice with this setup?
Thanks.
Right now I have a 40w flourescent that came with the tank.
No Live sand - planning about 75lb of LR.
I do not plan on stocking too many fish. Will live with the "ins/gal rule".
I have been reasearching for about 2 months and have just started to accumulate. Plan on doing the LR...
I am in the process of putting together a live rock fish only setup.
Have the tank - 80 Gal - and filter Fluval 404.
Went to the LFS to get some remaining items and was surprised at two things they advised.
1) do not need a protein skimmer
2) advised to go with UV sterilizer
This is contrary to...
