Starting a Uns 150 shallow. Tank is 60x24x16

Going to be running as a dedicated frag setup with frag racks end to end.
Thinking par on the order of 200-400 for mixed frags.
Have a spare xr30 and was thinking of picking up two more xr15s to light the tank, but honestly haven’t been too impressed with the Radions I run in my other tanks.
Any other ideas. Kinda interested in the meridians or the dalua lights.

Thanks

Good morning!


I have the 150R coming, how is the return set up? All I can find online is that it doesnt come with a barb fitting?

It has a 1.25 flexible silicone tube attached to a barb. I fit it to a Vortech m2 and needed an adapter to go from 1” to 1.25 barb

Is that the ID or OT? That seems big for a 150. I may need an adapter too then.

How do you like the tank so far? My Redsea 525XL is losing the left seal so I have a 150R coming this week.
 
1.25 Id. I used 1” pvc to a 1 to 1.25 slip adapter and then a 1.25 spigot to 1.25 barb. If you wanted to avoid any adapters you could use a Vectra l2 which has a 1.25 output or a varios s6. What pump are you thinking?

I have a simplicity 1600 right now, they run forever. I think I only have a 1 inch fitting for it though.
