is it the kind thats made for a reef that comes with power compacts? If so I wouldnt mess with anything.

just keep testing the water and you should be ready to roll in no time. I think those make nice little reef tanks if you keep fish inhabitants to a minimum.

The only thing I would get is a small power head to add a little more circulation. I added a y adapter to the return on my 8 gallon nano and a small power head and they work great.

its got about 100 gph on the pump (i have heard you can replace the pump to get more flow) think i should?
also have 48 watts of PCs and 2 leds
already have fish in it. i have a yellow watchman shrimp pair and 2 tiny ocilaris clowns.
they are just growning up for the 90.
but i think this weekend im goin to get my first coral.
the tlc seems to be working perfect. no issues at all. everythin checks out perfect
i have also done about a half gallon water change every other day so that helps alot too
another question: it has 4 watts per gallon what corals can i grow well?

Yes sir...but we need to move fast, as I am getting rid of lots of my softies soon. I can do it before mid march though most likely.

I will sneak one last frag pack in before growout begins on the 125g.
