any one? I'm just trying to find an answer by this afternoon so that I can by the equipment.

I am building a 180 reef and wanted to know if a 1800gph pump for return is fine a will be supplementing with powerheads. Also is a skimmer with a 250gl rating enough I was originally going bigger on both but was worried about them taking to much space in the refugium I am building, especially...

try peppermint shrimp, my lfs has a tank full of them and when he has apista in his other tanks tosses them in with the shrimp and they go nuts and eat them.

ok thanks for the suggestions.

the pump on the skimmer Ameno is a sedra 5000.

thanks again guys this info is going to help me a lot.

for the rest of the flow I was going to supplement with two seio powerheads. I don't know how much headloss I will have as th tank is not in my possession yet and won't for at least a month. The only thing I have is the light system that I picked up thanksgiving day(current outer orbit 72" metal...

thanks guys I appreciate the help and thats exactly what I had i mind with the valves

Sorry it took me so long to get back ameno I work second shift so I go to bed late and get up late. To answer so of you questions I really would like to keep the skimmer in sump what I could do is go with a smaller skimmer like the asm g3 which has a 11x12 footprint, cause the g4 could be...

If my pic did not work here are my questions. The refugium is going to be for a 180 rr dt. The size of the sump/refug is a 55g tank 48Lx13Wx20H the skimmer footprint is 11.5x16 the return pump is 7.5x3.8x5.9. My plans was tp have the skimmer area to be 17" long the refug section was going to be...

Okay if I did this correct there should an uploaded image. Now I have some questions on my design.

Is that just for the tank it self? Cause if thats the case I would look around because I ordered essentialy the same tank from my lfs except it's manufactured by AGA and it was around $555.00 with the reef ready overflow kits.

Thanxs guys I also have a few questions about the sump/refugium but, maybe I'll wait until I have the dimensions on the stand to see if the 55g even fits underneath there.

Ok thanks. Also would that fit in say a 55g tank. I'm going to be building my own sump/refugium for a 180 aga rr that I'm going to be setting up very soon. As a matter a fact I have to pick up my lighting this friday from my lfs which is 72" current usa outer orbit.

Hi I just have a quick question what does a skimmer footprint actually mean. For example 11.5x16. Is that width x lenth? Thanks in advanced if I don't get back to anyone who reply's, cause I'm at work.
