155 is here now what about equipment

reefman420 · 01-02-2008, 08:48 PM

hey guys i just got the call that my 155 bow is in.And i am just wondering if i have the proper equipment to set this thing up right away,my big concern is lights,right now i have a mix of sps,lps,softies and one clam in my 75 but want to get more sps and clams in their,so i have purchesed three pfo 250 watt 20k halides with spider light reflectors,And 2 six foot vho's.Now i will have a vdsb so everything should be close to the lights.

as far as flow i have a little giant return pump pushing thrue 4 pray bars,2 korilla 4's,2mj 1200's on sureflow kits and 2 mj 900's,Is this enough flow to keep sps as well as my softies happy?

I have a 35 gal tank i will baffle out tonight for the sump,as well as a 20 long refuge,skimmer is a custom built mini valcano built by spazz of aquatic acrylics here in minnesota,if ure on rc and see bill wans tank he is the same uy doing his,as well as i will keep my aqua-c remora hung up top for a lil more skimming.

At first i will coninue to dose two part,but im sure as the coloneys grow i will order a life reef calc reactor.

now does this sound like it will suffice to get this baby up and running?

Lighting sounds more than sufficient to me.
As far as flow, wait for someone else. I've never kept SPS so I can't comment.

I really think so. That's a lot of flow if you direct it right. That will be trial and error. I finally got my Korallia 3 set up to my satisfaction, it only took me three months!
Your lights should be more than enough to make anything happy. Congrats on the big setup.
