Well, about a month ago the plan was for it to be a FOWLR, but I think it quickly started turning into a reef. The LFS told me that it was OK to use my left over HOT magnum filter on the tank. BAD IDEA! Noticed things not being as happy, the tank wasn't dirty from what I could see, but not right. Swapped it out for a Bak Pak 2R and after a day what a difference! Splash is a lot lower too (and hopefully salt creep).
Well, after purchasing a Sunpak metal halide and the protein skimmer my wallet to a hit this month . I've read that a protein skimmer, live rock, live sand and a power head is all I need in the way of filtration? (I like the idea of the junk being collected outside the water instead of just being trapped and the water circulating through it).
