I am starting to put together everything I need for my Marineland 150 gal tank(36x36x27). The light I am going to use came in yesterday; Lumatek DIMMABLE 250W / 400W Metal Halide Electronic Ballast, a LumenMax ELITE, with a 250w Radium. What I need to order now is the tank and build the stand. I am going to use my reef octopus super reef 5000, my mp40w, 1 k4, 3 k2s, 30 gal sump, 30 gal fuge, 55 gal frag tank(I might use my 100 gal for a frag tank if I can't sell it)
I still need to figure out what I am going to use as a return pump, I will be pumping up from my basement 1 floor. There are a few pumps for sale on my local club site: reeflow 3200 for $250, a blueline 100 for $100, and a panworld for $200. I think I am going to use the 2 predrilled holes for a herbie overflow and have a return come over the top. I want to go with as little watts as I can with my return pump to get 3-5x turn over. I will use my powerheads to get the rest in my DT and frag tank.
Any help or tips are welcome. TIA
