i would get a better skimmer. with the cascade make sure you clean it minimum once a month. I had one on my 90 and it was a nitrate factory.
you really should get better lights for the anenomes.
 
you might be alright but most will agree they are high light corals. VHOs would be better. I have 110watts over my 20 but im not to sure about keeping one under that. my new tank will have carpet anenome so ill use MHs.
 
Vho

my husband says he has 2 and 4 bulb ballasts that he can make a fixture with but ...

1) should i do 2 or 4

2) what size/type of vho bulbs should i get


youve really been a great help so far :bowing: :bowing:


skimmer : would hanging an additional seaclone 150 help,, i had one given to me.. i was going to use in the future when converting my 55 freshwater tank
