Well heres an update. Things fell throw with the light and unless another oppurtunity comes up I will not be making this a reef (atleast not at first.) What I will be doing is just setting up a FOWLR with the best equipment I can get and stock it with enough live rock and a cool fish or two. I will contiune to be on the hunt for a good metal halide light. I will work on getting the tank established and all equipment running smoothly before putting my hands into coral (in the 75 atleast)
I may keep the 20 l and use that as a coral tank (2 salt water tanks wont be bad
)
I am going to be purchasing the skimmer in the next few days and its still between the EV series 180, the turboflotor, and the Euro-Reef, any suggestions on which one you would go with?
Also on the subject of return pumps from the sump, would be going with two mag 9.5s (for a total of 1900 gph or 25.3 turn over rater per hour) be sufficent or would two mag 12s (for a total gph of 2400 or a 32 tank turn over per hour rater) be more beneficial? I know water flow is very important and with my stocking plans I feel the extra water flow would be beneficial but would it be overkill (would like to save money but dont want to skimp)
