You might browse around this site - Lifereef Filter Systems I have bought a sump from them before and the quality of work is second to none. He has a long wating list though.

Your on the right track now! Problem is how big is your skimmer going to be? How big of a return pump? Start laying out your equipment list and make sure it all fits.

 

[heathd.hd]

With that big of a tank you may wanna go with the first sump and add a refugium seperate and a auto top off tank seperate also. The possibilities are plentiful! Lol.

I know right problem is now is the wife letting me spend the money it's growing on her :)

 

[Candyapplezoo]

Yup I've got fig them out 2 I've got a 1250 gph return pump wonder if that would work

 

[heathd.hd]

Would get you by for a while. But I'm sure you will want more flow at some point. I'm running about 1500 gph through my return into my tank and it's a 110g. But that being said I ran the tank through for 3 months with a 800 gph pump until I had the cash to upgrade.

 

[Candyapplezoo]

Found me a 2000 ghp pump for 100 bucks on amazon

 

[Candyapplezoo]

My skimmer is rated for 240 gallon this should work until I up grade later right

 

[heathd.hd]

Look at the jaebo dc12000 alot of people run them. I'm running the dc9000 and I like it so far.

 

[heathd.hd]

Skimmer will be fine. At some point if your getting high nitrates or whatever you may invest more $

 

[Candyapplezoo]

Yeah I was think about those I seen them glad to know they work good

 

[heathd.hd]
