Hello everyone. I’ve been out of this hobby for about 15 yrs now so I know a lot has changed. I just ordered a 48x24x21 rimless. I need opinions on a pump and what size. Also I’m needing a heater and probably 2 powerheads. Any thoughts? I’d like quality stuff but don’t need top of the line.

Reef Octopus makes great pumps!! For power head, I always go ecotech… MP40. Heater I buy innovative marine.
 
I have the same size tank and have a Vectra M2 return pump. I use 2 Jebao wave makers, 1 Tunze powerhead and 1 Koralia powerhead.

For heaters I have one Eheim and one Inkbird, hooked on an Inkbird controller for redundancy. I really suggest you get one. Make sure to get the marine one or the probe will rust.
