Need some opinions with a new set up I’m working on.
The new tank is a 40 breeder. Dimensions are 36 L X 18 w X 16 H. From sump floor to top of the tank is 4.5 feet. The tank will have one 1” drain with a 90* screened drain cap. The return will be 2 x ¾ drains. The return pump is a mag 9.5 with a T fitting recycling water back to the skimmer chamber. I plan on using a ball valve above the T fitting to throttle back water a little if need be.
Anyone see a problem with the plumbing idea?
The lights are a nova extreme pro 6 x 39 watt over sps. The frags are coming from my other tank that run 250 watt MH.
Should I use the legs that come with the fixture or elevate the fixture higher, say 12” off the water surface?
Thanks
