After years of looking at all your tanks with awe and a bit of jealousy, I finally started setting up my first reef tank. I'm using an Aquion 45g tank that I got as a gift, and a DIY sump using a 10g Petco tank (the only thing I could fit in the stand)

I'm thinking of putting a Reef Octopus 100 hob in the sump and grow some chaeto there as well. I could use some help selecting a return pum; currently considering the Sicce Syncra ADV 5.0
