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?ta...&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! _________  dang lazy cleaner shrimp! | |

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. _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
