New reef tank im putting together, i just need some opinions of how to improve it, or what to do different.
TANK: 55G All-Glass - Not drilled
SUMP: 30G All-Glass - Skimmer -> Return <- Refug
Overflow: HOB 1" flexhose to sump (going to change plumbing)
Return Pump: Aqua Clear 70 - 400gph
Light: Nova Extreme 2x HO 10K 216watts, 2X 460nm Actinics, 4x Moon lights
Skimmer: Octopus NW 150
Heater: 300w Sumpmergable (might add another for redundancy)
RODI: Yes
What i'm thinking is, adding another HOB overflow box to add redundancy to prevent floods - or is 400 gph enough for a 55g? If not, what is the desired GPH for a reef tank with mostly all softys?
Sound good?
