Feedback on equipment for planned Reefer 250

[ecyoung]

Hi all,

I've been doing tons of research into equipment for the Reefer 250 I'll be setting up in a month and was hoping to get some feedback before I pull the trigger.

Return pump: VarioS-4 DC return pump (1050gph, 3/4" barb output)
Skimmer: Reef Octopus 110INT 4" skimmer
Filtration: Dual GFO & Carbon reactor from BRS
Filter pump: Sicce Syncra 1.5 (357gph)
Lighting: 2x AI Hydra 26 HDs
Powerhead: 1x Vortech MP40wQD + already owned Koralia Nano (240gph)
Heater: Aqueon Pro 250W heater, will probably add Finnex Titanium Heating Bar for redundancy when I get an Apex Classic down the road

I'm planning on doing the return nozzle mod where it splits in 2 that pelphrey did a youtube video on. I'm hoping to stock with ~50lbs dry rock and eventually a mix of corals (SPS/LPS/anemones),

Thanks in advance!

List looks good. Will you be doing an ATO? Or will you just use the one that comes with it?

I'll be using the stock ATO at first but I'll probably eventually convert it into a fuge and do the Tunze ATO with a 7gal container instead.
