Getting a 55 gallon salt tank

[vetteguy53081]

No not a reef tank just fish for now. Maybe in the future but I want to start slow.

Reef Ready = tank that has an overflow and sump.
I assume standard tank being used to house fish only

Can you clarify HOB at AFAIK?

HOB = hang on back
AFAIK = As Far As I Know ….
pardon the acronyms, LOL.

Lkiquid bacteria- Either Dr Tims one and only OR MicroBacter XLM

I assume this is Not a reef ready tank- Add a hang on back refugium or wet dry unit and a hang on skimmer such as Ice Cap K2-50

Any hang on back refugium you’d highly recommend for a beginner ?
