Saltwater frag systems may require reef lighting, flow pumps, a protein skimmer, and marine filtration. Freshwater planted setups may need appropriate plant lighting, substrate, and CO2 depending on plant selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you plan to drill the aquarium for plumbing, have the glass checked first and use an experienced professional.
