Another Lighting Question

salttanker · 03-16-2004, 01:52 PM

Sorry..I'm new to this site and accidently posted on the backend of someone elses' thread.

I currently bought a 90 Gallon glass show tank. It came with a 48" light strip for 2 bulbs, which I don't care for, and I replaced one with a Blue Moon since I liked the color it gives off. I was wondering what other light I should add to replace the one it came with. This is a fish-only tank and no LR or coral. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I like the Actinic white from URI. It seems to be a touch "crisper" then other bulbs.

Thanks Mike. What would you recommend for a skimmer? I have heard so many things about them, and I am confused as to what is really good out there. Berlin, Seaclone, etc..

Thanks

As far as Hang ons go, The aqua C remora pro, or the CPR bak PAk... If you are looking for in sump or external do a MY REEF Creations, I have a Kent Nautilus and it is a good skimmer, but I think the MY REEF would have been a better choice. For your tank, the MR-1 and a MAg 12 pump would be ideal.
