Planning new tank.

[sps_addict]

Hi all,

I am designing how I want my new tank and would like some suggestions. Would this design work? This is going to be a SPS tank.

Suggestions on change? Questions? I am still unsure how much flow I should pump through it, any suggestions? It will be about 270 gal display + 75 gal sump. I was also planning on plumbing this using an OM 8 way.

Lighting:
2 x 250w with 2 Lumenarc's
4 x 54w T5

Plumbing and pumps:
Om 8way
Om Revolutions
Tunze Wavebox
Tunze 2 x 6100 and Controller
Return ?

Equipment:
Aquacontroller III Pro
MRC Calicum Reactor
Custom Made Kalk Reactor
1 HP Chiller
Carbon Reactor
Auto Top off

Skimmer:
?



Thanks.

Now for the design pics.

from which compartment does your return pump feed?

@shnabbles: i made it in 3d studio max.

@achillesheel: it will be from the skimmer area. I should have labeled it skimmer/chiller/return. Thanks for catching that.

I would put the fuge in front of the seahorse tank, and I'm sure you know they don't like heave flow so I would put fewer teeth on that side to let in less water. At one time I had 8 pair, they were so cool. JMO

One more thing, I beleive you're goimg to have to move you float switch to the skimmer area.
