So I have to move in a month or 2 and I want to get a new tank. I have 125g now and want to do a 48"x24"x24". I am going to have the tank built by someone. Starfire glass. What I want to know is what should I have them build into the tank as far as overflow and return options. It has been a while since I have done any serious research because I just can't find the time. I really don't want a full length over flow. I would rather a long shallow one with maybe the triple pipe system? I don't know what its called. One thing for sure is I DO NOT want to hear my tank.
I would also like to eliminate the need for powerheads. I have a couple external sump pumps now. One works way better then the other. I think the good one is a Little Giant of some sort.
I also have a Octopus 150. Good cheap skimmer but it's super sensitive and the air line gets clogged all the time. Right where it enters the pump intake. I want a bigger skimmer. Like something for 250+ gallons.
I would like to buy a ready to go sump without any holes in it. The bigger the better. I want to store a lot of rock in the refugium. I want to go for an island style rockscape but I would like to keep the rock I have.
I would also like to add some kind of dosing system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
IN the future I would like to add some sort of T5 and LED lighting. The MH work well but they are hot and my power bill suffers too.
Anyway If you all had something you wish you would have done or just have some suggestions I'm all ears.
