55g FOWLR predator tank

[DOJOLOACH]

So ive set up a 40g reef and done pretty well with a 10g sump, skimmer, carbon reactor, and a nice sbreef led.

 

Could i get by with a HOB aquaclear filter or two on a 55g? And a cheap basic marine led light? 

 

Still new to the hobby but wanted to doublecheck. I want a smaller moray eel, maybe a trigger or frogfish too

My first tank was a 55g. I ran 2 hob filters on it but then replaced 1 with a skimmer.

 

My nutrients weren't high with either setup. I was told I needed the skimmer.

 

I'd recommend the seachem tidal filters. They are a bit more in cost but a great choice.

 

The media basket is large allowing you to customize it easily.

The flow is fully controllable, sicce pump is silent, and it has a surface skimmer which really helps keep the surface clean.

 

Any light will work for fish only. No special needs there.
