New tank 45 gal hawaii

[Dan D]

Im setting up a fun tank,just a 45. Was going to put one of my little skimmers and a over the back double filter flow system w 1 fliter and one charcoal. Will that be enough? Plus water changes

For equipment wise that is possible but power heads are also needed

Ideal would be a reef ready tank with overflows. In this case, you can use a hang on back overflow or a combination of a hang on power filter and a canister unit. Maintenance of canister will be a pain and frequent and the power filter will be a good water polisher but not much support for chemical and biological filtration.

So the power heads are they for flow? The skimmer is for biologic and the regular overflow fltr is for bio and coarse and charcoal also bio for amonia? And i will test often and huge water changes often. What kind of lighting should i have ? Was looking to go led.
Thanks for tje info
