Hello everyone this is my first post on this site. I have had a freshwater tank going for about a year and then I had to move and most of the fish died so I gave a way the remaining and went to the LFS and got a basic salt water set up. I got a SeaClone 100 skimmer, and 22 lbs of live rock. I put it all together and now starting the cycle. I am very eager to put fish in it but after doing all the reading I must wait.
Now that I am waiting for the cycle I need to find the rest of the things I am going to need in a month or so. I know that I need a new light. I say this with hesitation because it seems like everyone know what is best, but everyone tells you something different. What I have heard from the LFS is one light will do soft coral and then for a lot more money you can get a light that will be good for hard coral. What is the real deal?????
I would also like to know about how circulation pumps. I am wondering how many is good? Were to place them? Is there a goal as to what you want to hit with the blast of water?
Please Help very lost in this process,
