Just setting up a 46gal FOWLER tank as a starter. I put 40lbs of live Fiji sand in the tank and 40gal of declorinated water with Instant Ocean salt. Put a AC300 on the back with sponge, Chemi-pure & bio media in the box. Airation running to mix the salts completely.

I will introduce some LR & SW Bio-Spira in a couple of days. I also intend to try using a piece of shrimp to enhance the cycle.

I would like to use the original factory hood. What would be the best replacement bulb to get for the single tube 36" fixture?

How does everything else sound so far?
