600 Gallon.. Heating/Powerhead ideas??

[GingerHawk5917]

Hi guys,

I am having a 8ftx4ft(deep)x30" high tank set up, I have a couple of 180 gallon tanks so I have already delved into the realms of big tanks...but obviously the 600 is another ball game altogether!!

My questions/problems are:

1. What heaters to use? What wattage? Obviously better to have lots of smaller heaters than one large one.

2. How will I achieve enough circulation/movement in the tank? Are there powerheads/wavemakers out there good enough?

3. I am thinking of 4 outlet (tank to sump) pipes and 2 return pipes would this suffice?

Any other suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

Mark

jebao RW20 (5500 GPH) or vortech MP60 (7500GPH) would move enough water for an 8' tank...might need 2 per side because of the 4' depth

I am going to run 4 RW15's on a 6'x3'x3' tank and i don't think ill be able to run them wide open...

1. What heaters to use? What wattage? Obviously better to have lots of smaller heaters than one large one. 2 -True Temp heaters in the sump

2. How will I achieve enough circulation/movement in the tank? Are there powerheads/wavemakers out there good enough? 2 MP60's on each end and 3 MP 40's on the back wall, all intermittent.

3. I am thinking of 4 outlet (tank to sump) pipes and 2 return pipes would this suffice?4 returns would be better

Any other suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks
