Help with choosing filter and lighting
I will be setting up a 90 gallon reef tank i need help on choosing the right filtration and lighting.
I have decided on the berlin sump with the sock. I was acaully looking at the Berlin Sump BS-1 Filter. Is this a good choose http://www.marinedepot.com/aquarium_...mp.asp?CartId= And the skimmer i am looking at is the ASM skimmer. http://www.globeaqua.com/asm.html As for lighting i am looking at the Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights 432 watt http://www.globeaqua.com/novax_lighting.html Can i get some advice on filtration and lighing for a reef tank, am choosing the right equipment.

good choice on the skimmer, the sump will work, make sure sump and skimmer will all match up before buying. lighting system is ok if the water collum is no deeper than 18" otherwise metal halide if you want to keep sps corals and some of the more light loving specimens. if you go with the t-5 see if you can get the atinic o3 instead of the blue. the blue is 460 nm and the atinic o3 is 420 nm. good luck nice start.
