oh also forgot to mention i have a dosage pump with a 2 part systemI attached a rough image of what I intend my new frag tank setup with a ZooMed Low Boy to look like (I'm not the guy he's just a reference for height) what are some pieces of equipment you all suggest? I already have a sump for the system and an array of lights including 2 LEDs, a T5 fixture and a mini skimmer I had on an old tank that worked amazing. I also intend to use some greenhouse roofing like I have on some other tanks to cut back the evaporation quite a bit.
Totally forgot about those. They're an afterthought every time for me lol. Any you suggest? Don't really want expensive ones but a magnet is a must. Had the suction cup ones off amazon, good power for price but kept popping off the side. I had some that I don't know the name of in another tank but they were pretty alright and the typical shape so I could easily make anemone guards for them which id certainly want for this tank too.
Yes, magnet is a must. I would watch out for some used Tunze 6095s like JDA mentioned. They're common, and last forever. And Tunze can replace any part that happens to wear out.
As far as return pumps I've been using just about the cheapest one on amazon in one of my other tanks for a little over a year (which for ~$25 if it dies now ill just buy another for the good price) and I plan on using that or another pump i have on hand. -Edit, I don't expect this thing to die anytime soon I'm just saying its made its money back at least, and any 40+gallon tanks ill just use an array of these as I've found nothing cheaper that still works this well
