G Greg31 Fire Eel MFK Member Sep 15, 2009 1,739 1 68 Maryland Mar 17, 2011 #22 Can someone explain why I would want metal halide over t5 or vice versa? Also, I was looking at the Bak-Pak skimmer/power filters, and they look pretty cool. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good one to get?

Anemones are some of the most light demanding inverts, you want to make sure your lighting will be adequate for their needs. I suggested a MH because I know it will meet the needs of a Nem, where as some T5 fixtures may not.

G Greg31 Fire Eel MFK Member Sep 15, 2009 1,739 1 68 Maryland Mar 17, 2011 #25 After doing some more research I think I will go with a Aqua C remora skimmer. Also, would this be fine for filtration (including live rock) or would an additional AC 70 or 50 be needed?

The last thing you want is to have a ton of micro bubbles that might turn you off of an otherwise great skimmer.
