thoughts on my tank and sump needs
hi all reefers, i am aquiring all the things i need for my tank and sump and any input or thoughts on what im choosing to go with would be great
tank - rio240 (already bought) powerheads - jecod rw-8 x2 ...is that too much flow? should i buy 1 rw8 and 1 rw4 lighting - evergrow it2080 ...will that fit using a tank mount? as i dont want to hang from ceiling heater - eheim jager 300w ...should i have another one to account for sump water volume as well? if so what size? sump - i am thinking of 24" x 12" x 12" ...is that suitable size? putting skimmer in 1st section refugium 2nd and return pump 3rd...or is there a better order? protein skimmer - bubble magus curve 5 (already bought) lighting - arcadia classica stretch 7w ...is that big enough for refugium? return pump - eheim compact 3000+ ...is this big enough for what i need? can i use this as return pump? is there anything else you think i am missing or i need? any and all input greatly appreciated thanks |

For fuge lighting, I use an ordinary CFL flood in a shop light fixture clipped to the side of the fuge. Grows cheato like mad. Cost me total under 20.00.
