CBarnett Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 well I literally JUST got the tank today in dallas. It is a 55 gallon acrylic with a center overflow setup. The guy I bought if from gave me a red sea prism skimmer (but from what I have read they are not the best choice) and a jebo Power compact light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Capt. Obvious Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 don't skimp on the skimmer!!! Welcome feel free to ask anything...well ALMOST anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysanford Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Get rid of the "dead" sea skimmer. We have one and we are try desperately to get rid of it! As for the 55, it is a good choice to have as your starter tank. If you need help, we have the same size tank that we have just started to set up, so we may have already experienced something that you will most likely go through. Plan ahead and research your equipment well. There are a lot of different choices and ways to set these things up. Best advice - BE PATIENT! Welcome to the club and feel free to ask questions!

GKarshens Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Welcome! As the others mentioned the skimmer is pretty useless. However, I would be more concerned about the light. Those have a reputation of, well, catching on fire. I would stay away from power compacts in general but especially Jebo. Welcome to the addiction!

cmanning Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Welcome to the club! What are tank's dimensions? IMO, if you decide on lighting go w/some T'5, less heat, the high output of lighting its amazing. The combination of bulbs is something you would like to see in person. Some folks here have there setups running T'5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
