do i need a skimmer? i think i recall for a tank this small. 7lbs of live rock and about 4 lbs live sand with a HOB filter with weekly 1 gallon water changes would be enough filtration.
i've had great success with my 20 gallon reef, so now i want to try a 5. just some easy to keep corals, zoanthids, mushroom, leathers etc. cleanup crew with maybe 1 small goby. i'd add a small powerhead and heater.
so my question is what can you suggest for lights? i was going to use a couple screw-in style coralife 50/50 20 watt bulbs which should be enough? it would save me from having to buy a new PC fixture. any advice welcome and appreciated
