First tank? if so good choice.

i think you might have to make your "stuff to buy" list a tiny bit longer

 

[cageburn]

thanks guys.any advice on skimmers,lighting,ro/di system good pump for closed loop and everything else i need is very welcomeany chance i can convert this wet/dry filter into sump/refuge?

 

[EyeReef]

Nice tank!!! Im sure you will turn it into an awesome reef

any chance i can convert this wet/dry filter into sump/refuge?

You could,but most likely without a fuge,and really depends on what type of skimmer you use.

 

[P.Olsen]

Thats kind of small for a fuge but it could work. I think you would need another sump for the equipment though. REALLY nice set up can wait to see the progress, go SLOW and you will be much happier in the long run. This is not an instant gratification hobby.....

 

[scotty]

you have so much room under there, why don't you just buy a 10 gallon/20 gallon tank and throw it next to the sump, that way you have plenty of room to put an in-water skimmer, or whatever you need in the sump.

 

[lunacris]

the fuge would be a tight fit post the specs im sure we could try to help more also if your looking to save space in sump witha skimmer the sea storm skimmers are slim design and i had good results with these

 

[kurens]

sump dimensions are 24x12x16 but rather than convert it i will try to find locally used 30-40gal sump/refugium.if no luck,scotty's idea seems like my last hope.

what you guys think about Eshopps Gen. II PSK-200 http://www.premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-supplies/ES-PSK-200.html
Rated for 150-200g and price is fair.

 

[dtrm]

I'm with scotty, one is good two is better.

 

[fastrc]

Ive got a 20 gallon long drilled, or a 20 gallon tall not drilled.

 

[SaylorsReef]

Very nice tank!

 

[moomoofish]

looking forward to see stock that tank
