:lurk: I have set up a 120 gallon aquarium, It bought it about two weeks ago, but I haven't been online in a while. I will have pictures later. Since this is a used aquarium, it came with all the eqipment. It is a glass aquarium by Leemar, euro bracing, Diamond cut edges, sord of rimless. I have a sump/refugium, but I still need a skimmer. Its got a center overflow, and a rio pump for the return.
For lighting, it came with two - 250 watt metal halides, with old PFO ballasts. Those things scare me, when you first turn them on, they will make a loud, vibrating sound. They get hot, but they are elevated from the water surface enought so that I do not need chillers, or even the fans. I have been thinking of replacing them for something equivalent though, but I'm not sure what yet.
So I need some help with choosing a skimmer, I was looking at the Turboflutor Multi.
I was also looking at led as a replacement, but they seems dim when I saw them in person. The Ecoxotic fixtures look good, but I want one that will replace these halides. The Cannon pendants they have were bright when I saw them in person, but I dont think they will properly fit in my canopy.
