Hi all,
I'm finally going ahead and setting up a 20 gallon SW setup, it's been FW for years.
I currently have a Fluval 205 canister filter with standard media, can I still use this with a SW setup? I'm also using a glass off-brand heater, is this still usable?
I picked up a Fisson Nano Skimmer to use when I get SW in there, I'm hoping this will be good.
I have a really nice lighting system, a 130 watt compact florescent with 1 actinic and 1 10k, I bought it a year ago in the pretense of switching to SW but never actually got a chance to switch until now, so I know I will need to replace the bulbs soon, but this should be great for "low level/beginner" corals.

Any suggestions on what I should stock it with?
Also any suggestions on additional equipment?

Any help is appriciated, even if it isn't exactly positive ;)
 
get rid of the canister and get some nice power heads if your doing a reef the LR and PH's with a skimmer will be more than good canisters turn into bad news on sw
