Hi,
Firstly, let me explain that while I'm not
a newbie, I do not profess to know all that
I would like to know.
I have successfully managed to maintain a
29 gallon reef tank for just over a year, until about 2 weeks ago when my heater decided to stay on while I was at work and I returned to a dead tank with a temperature of 106 degrees (shame on me for trusting the manufacturer and not purchasing a chiller).
I have decided to go for a 125L gal tank, but am confused with all the CHOICES on the market.
I would be very grateful if you could recomend what, in your experience, is the best equipement for the tank. My questions are as follows:
1) which wet/dry filter?
2) which skimmer?
3) Are the titanium heaters a good choice?
4) Lights - will 3 MH @ 175W + 2 CFs be enough?
5) Is the SCWD a good choice for a wave maker or is it just another gimmick.
I'm not interested in buying the cheapest to save money, or the most expensive because of the myth that it must be good, I just want the gear that works the best.
Thanks for your time.
