thanks guys but Max at Mermaid Aquarium in Fremont gave me a great deal on the 2 tanks. pick one up and waiting for the other to come this week. just to many tanks setup around the house and needed to run one system only.i think total setup should be around 600g tank/sump now i was wandering how i should plumb this set up.
-one tank is for reef only (72x24x30)
-other tank would be fish with live rock (72x24x30)
- planning to put the two tank back to back and share a 200g sump.
- have a close loop for 4 loc line that comes with the tank
-another pump for 1" seaswirl for each tank
? should i go bare bottom on both tank
? what lighting should i go with
? how should i plumb the system
? is it a good idea to try this setup
thanks ahead for any info.
