[Best skimmer Sub $200 for a 55g tank?]

I would have gotten the pro if I had more room in my sump area. The pro is slightly larger.

I have the remora with a mj1200 placed on the sump on a 65 reef tank. It has to be dumped every two day, pulling out all sorts of stuffj. Very low maintenance and most of all silent. I am really happy with it.

That would be great. I'll PM you later when we get closer to the meeting.

My currently fish less nano is being overrun with all types of pods. I'd be happy to siphon up a few for you and bring them to the meeting.

My 65-gallon reef tank with 15 gal refugium has almost finished cycling. I would like to add some copepods and amphipods. Where do I get them? I will be adding two clowns and other smaller fish later. Just want to start establishing the system.

Thanks,

David

Dave, Thanks for the input about hardy corals, I need to really think about what I really want to see in my tank. Maybe tank tours is a good idea. I tired to see the 19th schedule but I get an error message. Will check back later

First of all welcome...

 

You will get lots of opinions on equipment and setup... one thing I have found is that you should really think about what you want to keep (reefs tanks can be all different kinds) and plan you system around that. Don't skimp because of cost, typically you will upgrade later and it will cost you more in the long run.

 

Read lots, and go slow are the best pieces of advice anyone can give you...

 

So other than a reef, any thoughts on what you want to keep? (fish/critters/corals?)

For right now thinking about a couple of clowns and a yellow tang, but mainly reef safe fish. I would like to get live sand with lots of critters to help with cleaning the sand. Corals on the other hand I have no experience and that's why I am I joined WAMAS. What are some hardy corals to start off with?
