Ordering a 60g cube 25x25x22, trying to determine what equipment to purchase for it. Just ordered the sunbrite slimline S fixture for the lighting, my questions pertain to skimmer, return pump and power heads.
1. Overflow will be capable of 1000gph, I was thinking of using the eheim 1260 as a return, 750 GPH. I currently have one of these now. Is there smaller alternatives and do u think that is good enough or should get something with more flow?
2. I was thinking of either mp20 or two mp10's, any advantage to one mp20 or 2 mp10's?? Either should be enough flow right? I do have a mp40 now, is that way overkill or would it be better with two small pumps?
3. Not too familiar with skimmers and would like to keep my options open on what Corals I keep. Any ideas on what is a decent skimmer for this size setup? Not on a budget but still don't want to go retarded on this one. I got an older model Octopus SWC 200 in a trade last month, is this sufficient, overkill or just too old of a model?
4. I will also be lookign for decent controller. Will not need to control lights since the slimline does that itself, just basic monitoring of pH, temp, orp, etc.
Any suggestions/recommendations?
Forgot to mention, depending on size under tank I will have approximately 29-40 gallon sump/fuge.
Appreciate the help!
