Reef Newb Sump setup questions

[werewolf38]

I have a 125g tank with a coralife super skimmer rated for up to 125gand a CPR 900 wet/dry filter all still sitting empty. Oh and the stand Still trying to decide on whether to expand my current 30g reef setup(8 weeks old) into my much larger tank or turning the 125g into a fish only with some of the more aggressive species. I am just wondering if I should stay with the wet dry or go with something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know the lighting alone for the reef version will run well over $500. Beyond that I am an FNG to this stuff. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to TRT!If you do it as a reef you don't need a wet/dry unless as a sump(with no bio balls.)The Live Rock is your filter.The skimmer is a good kind.People like to oversize the skimmers to the set up but you can get away with it.The only other stuff you need besides the lights is a heater and a couple extra powerheads for currents in the tank.Of course you need the Live rocks as I kinda said already.

Welcome to TRT
the wet dry would be fine for a Fish only
