Alright I need some advice. I am coming over from the world of freshwater and I have a decommissioned 55 gallon tank and a 55/75 gallon stand. I was planning on buying and drilling a 75 gallon tank and plumbing in a 10 gallon sump(the biggest my current stand can fit) into the system. I have already purchased the lights, a return pump, a skimmer, wavemakers, and an overflow, but I am now realizing how much of a pain the plumbing is going to be. I also think I would like a bigger sump and possible refugium. So I've been thinking about picking up a red sea reefer(most likely a 350) and putting my equipment in that. Another possibility has just come up in the classifieds and I'm looking at purchasing a used Red Sea Reefer 450 for $800 tomorrow if it's still available. What would you do? Is my current equipment adequate for these tanks? Thanks.
Equipment List:
2x Ai Hydra 32 LEDs
2x Ai Nero 5 Wavemakers
Aquamaxx DFC-120 Controllable Protein Skimmer
Sicce Syncra Silent 3.0 Return Pump(714gph)
