okay so I have a chance to buy a 55 with all pine stand for 100 bucks.I have a great working bakpak skimmer,a hang on 3 gal.fuge,plenty of sand and about 25 - 30 lbs of live rock in my current setup. I also have a combined 200 watts of pc lighting.will this equipment work on the 55? I keep softies shrooms,and lps.gimme an honest opinion more rock will come eventually just not right away.

If this is coming out of your 20 long then I think you will need more sand if you are going to want a DSB, the skimmer is going to be a little on the lite side along with the fuge and with your lighting you will probably have to keep your LPS's in the top half of the tank, but yes everything will work but it will all be on the lite side. You wanted honest opinions and these are mine

Thanx for your opinions guys! I think until I can upgrade my lighting I'll set it up like a drop off with light on one side along with rockwork and corals and a steep slant down to deeper water.Watcha think??
