hi all need some advices

to TFF and the salty side

im new to marine fish. i have a Juwel Trigon 350 coming on monday, first i just want FOWLR.

Juwel make good tanks

the tank come with 4x t5 white h-Lite tube ,how many these i need to change 1or 2 blue? any different between white and marine white?

Imo you should have 3 x marine white and i actinic

powerheads which koralia should i get 2x Hydor Koralia Evo 2800 or 4000?

Well, you need 10 x flow an hour at least for a fowlr but more would be better - however I need to warn you, unless you are going to have fish that are not reef safe you are bound to buy corals in the end!!! So maybe go for 25 x flow just in case. You will may well need three powerheads in a 350

will have a Bio Jumbo 1000 and filter media with the tank(do i need to do anything with that?)

Take it out

will i need a extenal filter? if will a Fluval External 405 be ok?

As long as you have enough live rock you dont need the external, however it would be useful to run phosphate remover etc

as for skimmer is Red Sea Prizm Skimmer Deluxe ok?

Wouldn't be my choice

thank you

Remember, patience is a virtue on the salty side
