    Setting up 75 gal

    For the record I planned on going with the reef octopus 150, and two 1200 gph power heads on each side, one more on towards the top and the other favoring the bottom. Possibly two more lowing flowing ones on the back on the tank (depending on the rock set up and coral later on down the line)...

    Purigen
