Started w/75gal tank years ago, went on vacation lost everything. Now upgrading to a 150gal. Want to make a LPS and SPS tank, maybe a few fish.
75gal
Lighting-
*2 250watt MH- On 7am-4pm
*4- 65watt compacts- On 7am-7pm
* Moonlights- On from 8pm-12midnight
Sandbeds
*half crushed coral half sand-3inches thick- was going to change to all sand but stopped.
Skimmer
*Aquametic 1000
Sump
*Aquaclear 150
Wavemaster pro with 4 powerheads
150galH
Tank is fully cycled, 35 gal sump, ets 600 skimmer magdrive 9.5 and a knop calcium reactor. Water return is a magdrive 18.
Questions:
1. Can I stick with the wavemaster or is there something else I should use as an upgrade? Perhaps DIY suggestion.
2. Waterflow suggestions?
3. Going to use the same lighting for the 150 as I used on the 75 is this sufficent?
4. Suggestions on SPS corals to start with?
5. Should I go with a refugium?
FYI
I do have an RO unit that I just hooked up.
