New Setup Need advice.

ftlkid24 · 07/10/2011, 08:20 PM

ok, my friend is selling me his 125 gallon tank.

I am going to run a refugium, protein skimmer, uv sterilizer, chiller, and a phosphate reactor.

My question is what do you guys recommend for a 1 pump system.

Is this too strong or not strong enough, or just right?

Gen-X PCX40*External Water Pump

If anyone has a diagram of a similar setup they would like to share, it would be greatly appreciated.

use an external reeflo pump and use tees with valves to control flow to everything.

What size is recommended?

Reeflo dart is most popular. its more flow rated than pressure rated though.

+1 on a reeflo..that genx is too small to do all that thechiller will slow down that pump quite a bit ( it is a titanium coil in there) and by the time you tee off another couple times pump will be struggling..
