-I went with the Sicce 1.5 instead of 2.0 will the flow from this pump be enough or should I be adding power heads?
-1 or 2 bubble traps in the sump? haven't added baffles yet but have lots of glass.
-1" of sand is good enough in tank?
-Sand, rock, rubble, bare bottom in refuge?

Little help would be nice from the senior reefers.....

Thanks

What do you want to keep in your tank and whats' your budget

[Tigweldpro]

I don't know what I want to keep..... I'm hoping to start with a clown fish pair, Yellow wrasse, pistol shrimp/goby. Like to add an anemone for the clowns once the tank has aged.
My budget is whatevers left from selling my cichlid/pleco/shrimp fry....

Been eyeing this on Ebay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Dimmable-165W...MAAOSwSlBY31UN

I wish I had that kind of cash! on the other hand I think those lights are this expensive because the high end companys hand out samples to the big name reefers for endorsement, I haven't come across anyone saying the Chinese lights are junk or had any problems with them.....
