So i was looking at cubes because I am planning on building a 125g Cube in the next few months but have LOTS of questions and were better to get some good information then on a forum dedicated to cubes!
So I am going to get a cube that will be 3'x3'x24'' with a Eaurobrace because it will be open top (No canopy and the lights will hang above it) it will be a reef tank and I have some questions when designing and planning things out. I plan to buy the equipment slowly over the next few months so that when I move into my new house I can buy the tank and get it up and running. I currently have a 75g Reef and 40g Reef that I will be combining into the 125g So heres my current equipment and am wondering what I will be able to use in the new 125g
Mag 7 or mag 5 dont really know
Quiteone 3000
Reef Octopus MWB-150
3x 1250 GPH Korilias
Vortex MP10
Phosphate/Carbon reactor
30g Sump with 3 chambers
ReefKeeper Lite Plus (has PH and Temp Prob)
So I am going to kind of ask one question at a time and as they go along but at first I have a few main questions
I dont know how many GPH ill want to have in the tank so I may have to get a new return pump if so what kind of GPH will i want?
do I need a steel stand or will wood work?
where can I buy a quality LEVEL stand?
Is a 30g Sump big enough?
What other equipment should I have?
