hello pips,i wanted to ask if what kinda equipments do you recommend for a 220 gallons(72x24x30),fisrt with pumps and wavemakers,i want to have good water flow as much as possible,right now i have a rio submersible pump(320g p/h)and a iwaki 70rlt and there are three return outlet on the external from right,middle,and left side,i have a dual over flow on the right side.
then lighting(energy saver),i wanted something with fans on it ( i wanted just the flourescent lighting set only(i forgot moonlights),i only have fish only tank for now,but will buy corals later.
protein skimmer,i have a euroreef but it's only rated for like 180 g or 155,im not sure which model but i'ts a cs series(bought it used with the aquarium),then next is a uv sterilizer which brand and how many watts?
lastly a chiller,this is the most expensive thats why i's last(lol),i what do you think is better a drop-in chiller(no plumbing) or the regular plumb-in chiller,and do you think buying a used chiller is ideal?thanks and i hope i do get some replies..

here the link for the tank pics,i dont know how to reduce the size(lol)to many to edit..http://photobucket.com/binoy_415
 
Iam using a Gen-x PCX40 for my return it also feed the line to the UV steralizer and chiller. In the tank using 2 Tunze 6101's, plan on adding a Tunze Wave Maker. For lights I run 2x250 watt MH and 4 96x blue. My skimmer is an ASM G3 and it really works well.

My set-up is mainly softies with a few SPS and it seems to work well. Hope that gives you some idea.....
