Reefing newb
the tank i bought came with 2 96w pc lights. it is 62 gallon and 24 inches from top to bottom. want to have a reef and fish tank at some point. i know from reading that mh lighting is the best and what i need to add for the reef. my question is can i just add things to the top of the lr until i buy the mh then move it around or is it best for all life in the aquarium to not be moved around after being in one place for say 6 months or so? and how do you setup the depth in a sump? does the speed of the overflow and strength of the return pump determine the depth? ball valves on the overflow seem like they could cause small flood or overspill from overflow. ball valve on return seems like it might cause undue strain on return pump and cut down on the life of the pump?
