New Reef Tank

[Fubaga]

I just bought a 125gallon tank and stand i want to setup as a reef tank. I have always had fish only systems. I plan on using alot of liverock and a skimmer. I need abit of help with what type lighting I am ggonna need to keep corals on the lower end of the lighting scale. Also what other type of filtration should I plan on other than the skimmer and liverock? Any reccomendations for a online store to buy liverock? Any help wopuld be greatly appreciated.thnx,

I would get the liverock from ffexpress.com. It has always been great for me.

As far as lighting for lower light corals you can stay with VHO or PC. I would personally use VHO. You can fit 6 VHO over a 125 easy and keep a multitude of variety of corals. Now if you want to keep SPS I would look into Halides.

For a 125 you better think about 150-170 pounds of liverock.
