Recommended Posts

im thinking about starting up a new tank, looking to do a mixed sps/lps/clams reef with a med/high bioload and here is what i have so far:

20 gal (24x12x16) and a 15 gal sump (24x12x12).

Return pump (3ft of head pressure): possibly a mag 3, or mag 5/7 if i use it to power the reactor as well , advice?

Skimmer: TUNZE 9002, bubble magus 3+or 3.5, any other ideas.

Lighting: FNI 150w mh, FNI 250w mh, or maybe t-5's?

Carbon dosing: vertex or Warner Marine pellets in a Fish Need It media reactor powered either by the return pump or a maxijet 900 or 1200.

Circulation: most likely a k1 or k2. (thoughts)

I would prefer not a use a chiller, and if i went MH i would most likey hang it 7-12" above the water.

I will also have to drill the tank, any ideas of overflow sizes/ configurations
