I have a 45 gallon bowfront with cichlids I'm thinking of now converting over to a reef tank. Had one in 2004 and the Hurricane left us without power for 9 days, had no generator then and all corals died, gave up.
The tank is not pre drilled. Obviously I know I need an upgrade on lights, other than that I plan to use live sand and live rock and hopefully get a jump start with a friends substrate.
I will have to use a power hang filter for filtration, not sure I need a skimmer.
Anything else you all can think of, the hobby has changed a bit since 2004 I'll bet.
Thanks, Jim
