Ok, I have had freshwater tanks successfully for the last 2 or 3 years, and have decided to make the jump to saltwater. I am not going to set this tank up for several months to make sure I plan well. To start, I am going to go extremely simple, and with an overly big tank to ease up on water changes and quality things. I am planning a 75 gallon FO tank, with a crushed coral and white sand bottom. I will have dead coral as the main decor. I think i will be going with mostly easy beginner fish like various clowns and damsels. My daughter likes the "Finding Nemo" theme, lol. I am going to have 3-4 powerheads, maybe a wavemaker, and a very high glp rating eheim canister. I was thinking with just keeping the flourescents that come with the tank, but is this ok for a FO set-up? I have not been planning to have a sump or protein skimmer, but would you suggest one? As you can tell, just in case i screw up, I dont want to have thousands of dollars invested into this tank, hence no LR or LS. Thx
