Default Starting a reef tank

Yes, purchase some books on reefkeeping before you
buy any aquarium stuff. Many people don't take this
advice, but it's advice that is much worth taking.

Hey gang, just wanted to get some opinions...here's the setup my shop
recommended to me...
I've been dealing with them for awhile, and have run several tanks,
just never gone with reef (and not sal****er in ages):
72 galloon oceaning reef ready bow tank with stand, top etc
plumbing kit
oceaning sump
pum
protein skimmer
esu power compact light
versatop
heater/thermometer
Salt/hydrometer/testkit

Anything I'm forgetting?


What are your plans to this tank?
Will you have soft corals? SPS? LPS?

How do you plan to deal with nutrient export?
Have you familiarized yourself with the most often used systems?

HAve you got in your hands any book on the subject?
