[tnyga]

Not yet...Wife and I have some ideas in the near future for the home and it may be in our best interest NOT to tear down walls...So Ill be putting a hold on anything huge...Shes right...sigh lol

 

[victor626nj]

no shes just making you think shes right build your reef tank dont let her stop you man .lol jk then if i were you i would keep the mh cause knowing you your gonna want all kinds of corals and an anemone

 

[victor626nj]

i use a ocean runner 2500 it is about 650 gal per hour and is absalutly quite and bery low in heat i changed it for the mag 5 that only pushed 500 gal per hour and i dont regret it

 

[tnyga]

Think i should put a fuge in there too then?

Russ - You may want to visit Tim at My Reef Creations and look at his sumps. He has built some real nice sumps.

 

[tnyga]

It came with the one above...maybe add a fuge but dont need to build another I wouldnt think...no?

 

[FutureInterest]

I think that's a nice setup.

The skimmer may not be able to support a high bioload, but it will be just fine for a moderately stocked tank.

As for a fuge, I always think its a good idea and it can be done relatively cheap.
