Default Brands

As for brands, if you are trying to keep costs down, try using this forum for good used equipment. There might be several opinions on different types of equipment so do your homework and read, read , read. Some people swear by German aquarium products, but there are lots of good products out there. Check Craigslist too. Being in Edmonton I encourage fellow reefers to suggest a good aquarium/pet store in your area. Maybe even some local breeders and suppliers. Remember the first No/No in a marine tank is to rush it and not do your research. I am always learning new things from this and other reef forums ...aint the internet great!!

Default equip

I second the skimmer.Better to get something rated for more tank than you have.Euroreef makes good skimmers and theres others I just dont own them and don't know.I have a euroreef rs100 on my 20g and love it.Make sure you take your time to no sense in rushing in and losing livestock.Clint
