advice neede for 90 Gallon Build

[Monkey55]

HERE ARE MY MODDED PLANS SO FAR.

Oceanic 90 bow front with custom canopy and fans and mounts for 2 t5 actinicc and 2 250w mh pendant electronically controlled ballast.

A couple oscillating pumps on either side of the tank for wave effect (Maybe nanostreams or some type of tunze)

Main pump will work in conjunctio with a 25 Gallon sump and overflow that is raised high enough so that i don't have to worry about power outages. This will use 1.5" pipe out the back. and with 90 degree bends and what not (Apparently the installer has this down to a art, this is like the 25 tank of this specs he has done in the last 3 years)

I will use a sequence snapper pump. Because it is ajustable,(700-3500 gph) In will run it at1800gph. And it is the most reliable says my installer whom has done hundreds of tanks over 20 years. It is also the quietest.

I will use a euroreef 135 skimmer and a 4 stage RO/DI Unit.

I have a couple questions though. Should I use a calcium reactor?

What do you guys recommend for an auto top off? (pre set up system)

How many locline outputs should I plumb into for this tank? (2,4,6?)

Any other changes or advice

hello? any advice?

What you have sounds well thought out. The person helping you is guiding you correctly. I have a calcium reactor (a nice one I might add) but ever since I set up my new system I never hooked it back up. I've been using kalk, Tropic Marin Bio - Calcium, magnesium and washing soda. Now the piece of equipment I swear by and refuse to go without is an Ozone Reactor. You will have fewer outbreaks of single celled algae and disease, not to mention the water stays cleaner. This equates to less water changes.

I don't think the snapper can't push 3500gph, your thinking about the dart.

sounds like a great plan
