yeah....2X55watts...is not enough light...hammars and frogspawns might require more light..and later on u will see something u like..but realized it requires more light...

i have a 33gallon reef tank also...which you are planning too...i put a metal hailde on it with two atinics....gives me 235 watts....i can grow anythig in there...

and in my opinon....dependin on ur rock structure....try to build wif smaller rocks...i made a mistake on pickin out the big pieces..and it got stuff up quickly..and i had to remove some of them to make room for more corals...i have stuff in 20 pieces of corals in there.with 5 fish....it si pretty filled up....so if u plan on more corals..maybe u should consider a 48/50 gallon 4ft long.....up to u...jsut an idea wat and how much things u can put in a 33 gallon from expereicne..

as for my skimmer..i just use a seaclone 100 and a fluval 204...water circulation is by a maxijet 500

good luck....have fun......33 gallon is a nice beginingn reef size...easy to maintain...and not too much to build up to make it look beautiful
