New tank filter system help me please!!!

[tess&ellie]

HI

I have two tanks 25g and 12g and i am buying a 75 or 90g I would like some help in deciding what wet/dry system is best for my reef tank.

I am looking at
Eshopps 150 wet/dry with a in sump Esopps150 protien skimmer and a maga-drive 9.50 pump

also should I go for the 90 or 75 i am debating this

I know most of you have made your own wet/dry filter but i am not going to do that my husband is not too well and we want to set this system up as easly as we can so we can enjoy it as we will no be going far from home for the next year of so.

I would really appreciate any help in making this change as easy as possable

oh yes i also plan of getting a in tank over flow and the brand i was thinking about is all-glass any input on this would be great

thanks
Chriis

Are you set on a wet dry? IF so, Why? You should just have an open sump with a skimmer and plenty of live rock and a refugium if you have room.

You are right i have spent a few more hours reading and came to the same conclusion Thank you

I have so far planned on the octopus 150 in sump skimmer and the ADHI sump
I am also thinking of a 6x54 current nova light fixture I do have soft corals and i long tentical anemone.

Again thanks for the help

Wow thats pretty pricy for a sump. you should look around the DIY forum and see how easy it is to make your own out of a 40g breeder or somthing.

If you are keeping an LTA with T5's I would suggest the 75g with a 5-6" deep sand bed of fine aragonite (no crushed coral). If you want to keep corals with the nem I would suggest keeping a bag o' carbon in your sump. If you can spare the cash get a reactor and run carbon in it to keep the nem's chemical warfare attempts down and the water clean as possible.

I have the ADHI and I'm happy with it so far
