Starting new tank, gathering supplies

[abecker]

I'm starting my new tank and gathering the supplies. I'm planning on going with either a 24x24 cube or 24x36 rectangle. Planning on mainly anemones, along with two clown fish. So far i'm thinking:

Tank: 24x24 cube or 24x36 rectangle
Lights: Kessil 360x
Powerhead: Nero 5 (1 or 2)
Return Pump: Vectra S2
Skimmer: Quantum 160

Still need to pick out more accessories such as auto top off, heaters, etc.

so far it sounds great, you might want to find a way to protect anemones from wandering into your powerhead though

Im thinking about 3D printing a shield for the powerheads.

sounds good but how would you attach it and could the printing material release negative toxins or materials into the water?

I would probably model clips into the print, but without having a Nero 5 it’s hard to say. I have seen some places online selling 3D printed covers for the MP40, so I just need to find out what types of material would be ok in saltwater.
