Getting back. Few questions

[ajholms0427]

I'm going to be getting back into the hobby after about two years of being out. I have a few questions before I jump back in. First off I plan on setting up my 46 gallon bow front running t-5 bulbs, reef protein hang on back 1000 and hang on back refugium. Now to the questions. 1) What is the best way to get the most blue light and have good coral growth? 2) Any thoughts of the protein skimmer and refugium? Thanks AJ

I have just gotten back in with a 29 biocube and I went from metal halide 4 years ago to now using LEDs. The color and growth I am getting is amazing. I and housing SPS, LPS, and 3 different nems. I am alos very impressed with my skimmer AquaMaxx HOB. I personally got my leds from www.rapidled.com .....but there are a lot of options out there. I thing I have learned over the years is sepnd a little extra at the beginning buy once and buy right

I have a CPR bakpak and CPR large fuge for sale. Both hob. I had them on a 36 bowed and they work great. Pm me if your interested. I think the skimmer is rated for 60 or 75 gallons so it will be fine for your tank.
