Hi everyone. I have been in the hobby most of my adult life but moved about 10years ago and have not been able to set up a new system since. My last tank was a large 300gallon reef. I really wanted to go that way again but I just recently had a friend of mine give me his 75 Gallon set up. It has a built in overflow with an Eshopps sump and Eshopps Cone S 200 Protein skimmer. I have the submersible pump also for the sump.
Since I have been out of the hobby for so long I want to know if the items above are good for a basic system for fish and some inverts? What lighting is best to go with these days? What else should I be looking into for equipment for this system? I want it to be done right the first time and not have to spend money twice to fix a bad purchase or something I missed along the way.
Basically I want to build it the right way for the benefit and health of the fish and inverts that go into the aquarium.
Thank you in advance for your help.
