So i picked up an acrylic tank from a local reefer measuring at 60 (l) x 24 (w) x 24 (h) so its 150 gallon. I need some help with a few things. I was thinking that all i want out of this tank is a sps dominated with a few bigger fish that i cannot keep in my 65 gallon.
1. how many and what kind of power heads should i use? I was thinking of using 2 Tunze tubrell 6085s for flow or two vortech mp40s
2. what is a good return pump? the sump will be behind a wall about 4 feet away from the main display. im looking at a panworld 30 HD-X
3. what is a good heater?
4. lighting. I am looking at ATI sunpower 6x80 but could use some advice on this as i have not used T5s or know a good color combo.
5. Sump, either a trigger systems crystal Elite or 70 gallon rubbermaid stock tank, however i want to run a refugium along with the sump so i dont know how to do that with the stock tank.
I will take some pictures later. This tank is well built but the guy i got it from used it as an inwall tank and spray painted the sides which im currently painfully removing. After the paint is removed i planned on buffing the entire tank to try to restore it to new.
