New to reefing- Montana

ParadiseReefMT · Mar 15, 2020

Hey All, new here and new to reefing. I’m still in the planning phase. I have a DT and sump and I custom built a stand. I need help with picking out all the essential equipment- lights, flow, protein skimmer, etc.
thanks!

Welcome!!! What you will need will be largely dependent on your budget, what your goals are, and what you would like to keep. Plan for what you will ultimately want to end up with so that you don't spend more money than necessary.
