i was an avide reefer 7 years ago. however, i moved to the caribbean and had no need for a reef in the living room. i am now back in the states and ready to dive back into the hobby. i sold everything before i left. so, i will be starting from scratch, and i am seeking advice on setup. i will likely purchase a 60-75 gallon(shallow) aquarium(reef ready) for fish, inverts and mainly soft corals. i am basically looking for hints, suggestions, or "if i could start over i would..."
is a plenum still the way to go? what about live sand in the bag? i had a red sea skimmer before, are there better and cheaper skimmers now? i would like a skimmer that i can drop into my sump. are the power compact lighting systems worth the money? also, how much lighting and type would be sufficient for shallow 60-75 gallon aquarium? any other advice, web sites or book suggestions would be appreciated. the book i use now is julien sprung's reef aquarium book from the late 90's.
