Hi. My name is Tim and I’m beginning to set up a 57 g coral reef tank. I am familiar with the hobby but I have never kept coral. I first began keeping saltwater fish 50 years ago but always a FOWLR. after a recent move I have the need to design and build a stand and canopy. I intend to use an existing Aqueon 57 g Illuminata tank and a ProFlex sump filtration system. I would like suggestions for lighting, pumps, control systems, etc.
thank you!
