I recently just converted my eclipse 55g freshwater to saltwater. I can be honest and admit I know nothing about saltwater. I have done tons of research but there is so much out there that its all opinionated.
Here is what I am looking to do:
Setup a reef tank with lots of bright corals and around 5-6 fish, a starfish, shrimp and crap. I like the soft and hard corals, mostly lean toward the soft.
Here is what I have:
-55g eclipse tank from (petsmart), whatever eclipse lights came with it (not sure what wavelength, just say eclipse), there 2- 18w fixtures.
-Whisper twin bio bag filter
-300w heater
-Aqua flow 70 power head
-10lbs of live rock (3rocks, 2 the size of softball but flat, one about 8
