I have a new tank. 36" wide by 18"deep by 24"tall. I have a 250w metal halide bulb. Will this be sufficient light . My fixture also contains (2) 96w actinic bulbs as well. Also I am reading about UV filtering. What is that and how do I know if I need to filter my light and if not will it...

Hello Everyone, I am setting up a 65 gallon tank and do not know what pump I should get for my sump. I will need an external pump for the sump. What is the correct GPH that should be circulated through the sump. I will also be putting two to three powerheads within the tank.
