I will be moving from my 110g to a new 220g Some history: A year + ago I transfered from a 55g to the 110g and lost most of my corals. So I'm a little more gun shy now. Heres my plan (please be critical) 1. set up tank for fish and another for the corals. I will use water from my 110g tank...

back at you!

Thanks, I have those (unfortunately not right off hand), but I guess what I was wondering is how deep should my fuge section be? I am planning on my baffles being about 9" because my skimmer has optimal operation from 8 to 10". Will 9" be deep enough?

I am going to use a 55g (48 x 12.5 x 18) for my sump. I want to set up a skimmer section (which will be Octopus nw-200), then my fuge with a sand bed, and then a return section (Quiet One 4000). How big of sections would I need? What I need to know is how big should the fuge be to be effective...

I am setting up a sump, in a 55g. The sump will be in three sections with the first being for the skimmer, the 2nd a fuge, and the 3rd a return section. I wanted to know how many baffles I would need. I'm assuming that I would use three between the skimmer and the fuge. Do I need one, two, or...

I have a 110g tank, stand, and canopy that I am selling for $550 obo. I live in Dayton, Ohio area. I may also sell the overflow boxes, sump, return pump (Quiet One 4000), and seaclone 100 skimmer. I could also be interested in selling the lights along with it (3 x 80watt, 60" retro with...

Originally Posted by prime311 I have almost 3000GPH flow on my 125, I'd imagine you want a lot more for a 210 but it is partially dependant on what livestock you plan on keeping. Do you mean from the overflow? I have about 3000gph also with my p.h. included (that's in my 110g)

Thanks for the views but NO input?

I am curious about what pumps you would suggest for my 210g tank, I am uncertain if I want to do a 1600gph overflow box or something smaller.

What amount of flow rate should a 210g tank have? I was looking on other websites and saw one type for sale and they had these listed: 900gph: up to 200g 1000gph: up to 300g 1600gph: up to 600g That seems rather over estimating the tank it can service. Am I correct?

I presently have a 110 with two overflow boxes. However, I have a 210 that I will be setting it up shortly. I need to know should I buy 1 large overflow and put it in the center, OR should I get two and put them in opposite ends of the tank (like I have now.)? My present tank is 6' x 18" x 18"...

I have a 110g that is 72x18x18 with 3 x 80w tek t-5. I am upgrading to a 210g that is 84x23x25. I need to know what lighting I would need to keep my bubble coral, anemones, and mushrooms thriving. I really want to stay with t-5's (heat, canopy size!) Suggestions?
