Hello chaps and chapettes, I haven't been on here in a while due to intensive work for exams. I am looking at a marine setup, and trying to find a good Aquarium for the job. What I am looking to make is a reef aquarium, and I have been looking at this http://www.seapets.co.uk/products/a...th-overhead-lighting-and-cabinet.html#reviews, is this a good starting point? I know I need a skimmer and marine bulbs for the lights which isn't a problem, but has anyone had experience with the power filter included? Is it sufficient?
First Marine tank.

You would DEFINATELY want to upgrade thee filter. A Fluval 205 is only rated for a 40 gallon tank. I would personally do a sump setup in the cabinet though. Canisters and HOB filters are nitrate factories. It is possible to use a canister if you have to but I would definately uppgrade the 205 to a 405 atleast.
OHHHHH its 155litres lol, then yeah you could get away with the fluval 205. But canisters are still nitrate factories I would still do a sump. You could get away with using a 10 gallon sump.
