Helping a guy that I know set up a Mixed Reef at his wife's assisted living facility. Need some opinions on some equipment. We do know the tank is going to be
72x24x30"T
it will be drilled for a CL and a certain type of drain in the upper corners.
Lighting will be 3 400W MH supplemented with Actinics
Filtration will utilize a Sump/refugium within the stand.
What would everyone use for a return pump and a CL pump?
We are going to set the tank up with the ability to house any types of corals/fish. So flow needs to be very high.
Skimmer will be a OctoX 200.
Tank will not be an allout SPS, but we will be adding some nice easier to maintain colorful SPS, LPS, clams, zoas, and lots of fish.
any suggestions would be great! For the CL we are thinking a hammerhead. and for the return we have been suggested to use a dart w/ baldor upgraded motor, but the dart seems to be a bit large for a return pump? I do suppose it could be restricted with a valve.
