Thinking of setting up my first salt tank

[Ephraim]

Well i've decided that i will drop the money on some MH. I'm interested in the Coral Life hang on tank mounts w/ 150W 20K. What's better 20K or 14K?

Anyone have experience with these? I ws thinking of maybe 3 spaced down the length of the tank. Also i was thinking of the fixtures that Marcingo mentions in the product review forum. I realize these will need a little bit more work on my part, is it worth it to save a few bucks?

Back to skimmers...The hole in the wall where i am putting the tank has a clearance of 3.5" on each side. So i would have the room for putting a slim skimmer on each end. Would this suffice?

On the topic of the sump, does anyone know anyone in the Calgary area that could drill holes for me(not Bow Valley)? Any idea on cost?

Do anyone have some good links for DIY dosing systems. I'm fine with daily dosing maually(i do it with my plant tanks), but I'd like to explore my options.

I'm so amazed at how helpful you all are! This forum rocks!
