You need to figure what type of system, you are going to attempt to keep.. You will have to research what type of equipment will support the livestock.

I would suggest you spend sometime looking into the commitment in time and money to accomplish your 55 gallon system...

Reef Central is a wealth of knowledge, some good some not so good. everybody has their own opinion on what works best with which type of system.

I would suggest purchasing all the equipment you will need for the tank size. Buy quality equipment, be it new or used. avoid cheap undersized equipment, that will need replacing down the road. It will save you time and money, along with headaches.

This can be a demanding, and rewarding hobby at the same time. Only you can decide which path your journey will take...

Happy Reefing
