Starting my first reef tank

welcome33.gif
 
Hi, I’m starting my very first reef tank, I have 7 freshwater tanks, but this is my first saltwater. It’s a 55 gallon 48”X13”X21” and I’m wanting it to be a mix of LPS, SPS, and Softies. (I’m just learning terminology, so sorry if that’s not right). I’ve been trying to narrow down lighting and what would be best, I’ve thought about doing the Fluval Marine 3.0, as all my other tanks have Fluval Aquaskys and it would be convenient to have them all in the same app and to have a familiar brand. Does anybody here know what I would need for a mixed reef tank? I’ve been talking to a friend who has a nano reef tank and she thinks it might not be enough lighting for LPS and SPS corals.
Welcome ! Hope everything is going well with the tank! Update?
