  1. A little update: Like I said before i am not very handy so I got this guy from a LFS to set up for me a custom made refugium sump . He is working on a 30 gallon sump and I also got some items such as heater, Rio pump, live sand, salt. I still need to buy a skimmer and light,powerhead... and the list goes on... hopefully i will have my tank fully running in the next couple months.. thanks for all the info and help

  2. Thanks everyone for all the information! I am going to get the membership for sure. I got a book this week (the salt water Aquarium Handbook by George Blasiola) hope has good info... I am going to have somebody from a local fish store give me a quote for a sump. He believes a 30 gallon sump under my tank would be nice and he could build one with skimmer. As far as the power head goes I heard The Koralia ones are pretty good but a little pricey ( not outrageous) and I am thinking about buying 2 to have a nice water agitation.. One lady from a local store also said something interesting about the heater. She has on her tank 2 heaters that combine supplies enough heat for her tank just in case the heater dies. What you guys think about that? I love the idea of saving money with the electric bill if I would go with LED light but it looks like most of the people I talk to believes that LED light didn't prove for themselves yet and for this reason they are still lots of T5 lighting fans. I want to set up a Reef tank btw. Is there a brand of T5 that you guys like the best?

    Btw I live in Manassas. You all have a great weekend.

  3. New to this hobby and I need help plz !! I got a 90 Gallon tank reef ready with corner overflow plus a stand. I would like to have this tank running soon but there are so many different opinions about pretty much everything on this world that makes me more and more confused! I understand that my next step will be picking a sump system. What would you guys recommend for a 90 gallon? how many power head should I install? Lightning? anyways I think I need help with everything.... srry.... Hope somebody can guide me and help me finding all that I need to get my tank running... Thanks a lot to you all !
