180gal setup questions - wet/dry vs sump AND lighting
Hello,
I have been reading ALOT of the threads and am more confused than ever.
The tank I have is an Oceanic 180 - non-drilled, and has a 1/2" thick
center brace across the top of the tank.
I have had a fish-only 180 marine tank that I had to dismantle due to
some remodeling. That is done and I am ready to set the tank back up. I am
hoping to move more to reef so I am looking 1) to upgrade the lighting from
basic flourecents to MH /PC lights. I have been looking at a 72" fixture
from Orbit and Current.
2) I have been using an Amircle Wet/Dry filter and a AETech Reef Devil
Deluxe protien skimmer. I have changed the overflow boxes to a CPR Aqautic
CS150 continuous Siphon. I am thinking of removing the bio-balls and filter
pad to change the wet/dry into a sump/refregum. This will help with micro
bubbles from the protien skimmer not getting back into the tank and help
with Nitrates.
Suggestions?
