125 gallon reef tank setup

[Evan1352]

Would someone be able to provide me with a list of the best equipment for a 125 gallon reef tank. lights, return pump, skimmer, powerbeads, etc... I am upgrading from a much smaller tank, thank you.

Regarding lighting- If you want the best for the corals and not necessarily the best for you then I would look into the Giesemann T5/MH combo fixture over any LED fixture.

if you are a bit lazy and selfish like myself and just want to go with the ease and beauty of LED then I would choose an AI light. To me that spectrum is the most appealing although I hate their reliability and customer service…
