    Well I should have my new tank by this Friday. I bought a 24x24x24 cube with built in overflow. Now I need to decide on a sump, skimmer, and lighting. If you had to do it over again would you buy the same equipment?

    thanks everyone! I was looking at the RedSea Max 130D. Any opinions? Or I was going the rimless route. I would rather do a reef but I thought by doing the fowler it would be a easy way back into the hobby.
