So I bit the bullet after being out of the hobby for several years and ordered a FRAG 105.4 (72 G display and 30g sump).
Bought my ATO (Tunze 3155) and my RO/DI unit (7 stage BRS deluxe). I've also honed in on 2 AI Prime HD 16s for the lighting, just waiting on a nice "Black Friday" sale to pull the trigger.
Only think left is my return pump, heater and skimmer.
Any suggestions on GPH and brand of return pump? I want to go with a DC pump this time for energy saving and quietness and hear that I should shoot for 10 X my tank volume. Tank volume is 72G and sump is 30G so total of about 102G.
Advice/suggestions on these?
Return Pump (DC pump preferred)
The SICCE SDC 6.0 on which does 530 to 1450 GPH?
Jebao Sinewave DC6500 does up to 1710 GPH
Hydor Seltz D-1600 does up to 1600 GPH
Skimmers:
Totally confused on which brand, how big etc? Someone recommended a Reef Octopus Classic 110INT 4” Internal Protein Skimmer but BRS recommends this for only up to 75G?
Heater:
BRS Titanium 300w with inkbird controller?
