210g questions

[DomC]

So I came across a good deal on a new 210g (72x24x29) glass aquarium, but before I drop a dime on it I have couple question. This will be an upgrade from 100g system.

First off what size sump do you recommend? I was thinking something in the 60g+ range. I want to run a fuge in it as well.

Second, what type of lighting do you recommend? I'll be housing 90% SPS. I really like the T5 HO, but with the tank being 6' might be hard with 48" and 24" bulbs.

Lastly, what size return pump would be recommend? I was planning on plumping reactors in to as well.

Thank you,
Dom

I recommend an https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/selling-forum-dry-goods/143341-fs-iwaki-md-70rlt-knoxville-tn.html. 1536gph, quite, just what you need. :-)

hey dom .. i would do your 100 gallon tank for a sump if it would fit under the stand or go to a reg 75 gallon .. . your talking alot of water volume .. return pump .. at least 2400 GPH .. with lighting i would do LEDs with T5 back ups .. but this is only IMO ..

I'd run the biggest size you can fit. That 100 may be a good option. I will be setting up a 210g after my move back to Texas and will run 2 pumps.

Looks I'll have run two pumps. Good price on that pump jeff.
