thinking about converting my 56

im thinking about converting my 56 gallon amazon fish tank onto a saltwater reef or FOWLR. the only thing is... no sotres around me will buy back my fish and give me cash. There is only one LFS that i trust to buy Saltwater fish and corals from and they have great prices to! Im on the edge and i need the kick in the A$$ to go either one way or another.

question time.

Would i need to run a sump

could i do either a pink tail trigger or picasso trigger with this size tank

how much light would be necessary to keep shrooms zoes and softies

what else would i needto get this project up n running. ( i have another SW reef tank so hygro and what not are taken care of.

thank you in advance.

Mark

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I'll make the whole damn world jealous if given the money to do so.


Don't make mistakes and learn from them, read and learn how to avoid mistakes.

a)Fix the damn problem
b)live with it
