Heaters Saltwater tanks require temperatures of certain, and often narrow ranges. The type and quality of your heater is very important. Protect your investment with quality equipment! Pumps We carry pumps that move up to 6000 GPH. Need something larger? Just ask us! Power Heads Saltwater fish and most corals require constant water movement that mimics the flow of the ocean. How much flow you will need will be determined by the corals that you intend to keep! There are several different brands of powerheads that are more than adequate! Lighting It is good to have an idea as to what you plan on keeping prior to buying your lights. One reason is because some lights may limit your ability to keep some things that you'd planned on having in your aquarium. You have plenty of time to buy lights while cycling your aquarium. You don't need them at all during this process so just take your time! Old school but still some common lighting include VHO and compact florescent lighting. Depending on what you wanted to keep, these lights offered the limitations that were mentioned and were often used to supplement other forms of lighting. T-5's and metal halide became the standard for keeping those more difficult to keep corals that required more light. In recent years, companies like Ecotech Marine perfected aquarium lighting when they produced the Radion LED lights. They are not only capable of supporting corals that have the greatest need for light, but they are very energy efficient in comparison to any of the other mentioned forms of light and do not require regular, expensive bulb replacements.
