[sotexreef]

I'm in the process of planning a 40b reef with a 20L sump
but need a little help in some areas I plan on having soft corals and maby some zoanthids but need help with lighting and small things that I don't realize since this will be my first s.w. tank any help would be nice I have already read threw a lot of build threads and start up's and the RC guide to first time tanks

Sounds good. Post your questions or a list of stuff you decided on getting already. Lighting options depend on your budget

There is a sticky with a red arrow at the top of this forum, in there you will find everything you need to know about setting up your tank. It is setup like a book with chapters, so easy to navigate. If you have any specific questions don't hesitate to ask.

Good Luck and Welcome to Reef Central!
