Well here it is... I used to be obsessed with reefong like two years ago visiting this site every day and it was crazy how obsessed I was! Well two years later I still have a tank but I barely pay attention too it. My new hobby is playing on the xbox... You should see how advanced this stuff is, the graphics aee unbelievable, so realistic and just addicting! I came here to introduce yall to some other hobbies... I know it sounds corny but it actually takes a lot of skill and the types of things ...

I guess I was going to fast and measured wrong. The overflow is one inch wide and the return is also one inch wide. The water is being drained from the bottom of the tank with a bulkhead Thanks everyone.What return pump should I get?

Hey fellow addicts. I got a new 55 gallon pre drilled tank and stand that came with two holes in the bottom of the tank and came with two bulkheads and pipe. I have it all set up and need to figure what return pump I should get. Any advise? The overflow hole is 1.5" and the return is 1''.

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.
