Hi everyone. I'm looking to get coral pretty soon. And I'm looking for some advise on the lighting. The guy at the local fish store said t5 would be sufficient but when I asked him about metal halide he said it would be too hot and I would have to buy a chiller which is 400 to 500 dollars. I was also wondering about led. My tank is 48 inches long and 12 inches wide. I don't want to spend more than 400 dollars. Thanks all. Please feel free to suggest anything.

Hi everyone. I have had a 55 gallon tank set up for about nine months now and am looking for advise on what type of skimmer to buy. Eventually(not anytime soon) I will be upgrading so I want a skimmer able to pump about 200-300 gallons. Also, I plan on getting the swabbie from Avast Marine so I'm looking to buy one of those. Here is the link to that page.http://www.avastmarine.com/ssc/do/pr...immers/SWABBIE Thanks all! Oh and I will be uploading some pics of my tank when I get the chace. ...
