hmmmm what Should I do

[this guy]

Hi guys, I've got a trigon 190 here. I can either buy new lighting. a protein skimmer and and extra external filter and go marine (of course most bought from ebay) or keep tropical which I've done for a year now, but Ill go chcilds. What do you think I should, and are the lights in jewl enough to satisfy a reef tank?

Thanks

In my opinion the Juwel tanks dont not have adequate lighting for a planted tank or a reef They are good to look at, etc. but lighting....NO

Maybe a few low light fresh water plants, but no way a reef tank. Reef tanks need lots of light, like around 3 to 4 watts per gallon and at a higher K temp than the normal light.
