New Juwel 250 Setup
Beginnerish
6 months ago I bought a 37 gallon reef tank! I have managed to keep everything alive so far  Behold a miracle  But now i want to move them to my new tank a Juwel Rio 250 Seens as how I inherited everything in the smaller tank I'm a bit lost as to what I'll need for the new tank  Which was housing tropical fish originally and has a juwel filter but this is no good now right? So seens as I'm blonde I need help please I need to know what I need ie; what type power heads the size, how much live rock and sand, What size protein skimmer etc And what type of lights, can I use t5's like whats in the smaller tank The new tank isnt drilled and i'd prefer to use a protein skimmer like the one i have now, (one of those clear ones that sit in the water) cos at least i know what i'm doing with one of those. Any help would be greatly appreciated.COS I'M TOTALLY LOST Thanks lulu

Actually, I think MH are more efficient in terms of light output per watt, depending on the setup, but T5s are very good. I don't like the look of T5 setups much, though. Personal taste.
