Ok slowly getting ready to set up my 54G corner, picked up my Aqueon Proflex model 1 (may build 15T eventually but with baby on the way want to get the tank rolling!) they recommend the Aqueon 2500 pump and Coralife 65 skimmer. Rather see my other options, will be going berlin with skimmer in 2nd chamber. Looking to order this weekend
Looking at pumps, was first going Rio but now I'm in between Tunze and Jebao DC6000. Trying to stay around $100 for now, could upgrade later possibly. I was thinking of doing a ball valve on the return side to control flow as well. (looking at flex or spa flex)

Also what a good skimmer, I was thinking of getting a SCA-301, heard good reviews.
Could I upgrade the pump on this later if it went out?
