Final Questions.

Thats pretty small, why does it have to be that small?

 

[James B]

limited space for the sump atm but i might be able to up grade it later.

 

[James B]

ok major change of plan hopefully i am getting a jewel rio 300 tank means more space and unfortunately for the time being will be run with no sump but if i can will add one later. what stuff am i going to need obviously the mh lights and heater but is there anything else will it need bigger powerheads or will a pair of seio m620's do it. as fr a skimmer what one should i buy. thanks james.

300 litre or 300 gallon?

 

[James B]

its a rio 300liter but its still bigger than the tank i was planning lol and after looking at it i might be able to run a separate sump and refugium but not hard plumbed into the tank.

by my adding up the seios will give you:

4800lph (2 x 2400lph)
/
300

= 16 times turnover

Yup, ok for softies, but if you want to venture to either LPS or SPS you'll want more flow.

 

[James B]

once itsbeen going a while can i add say another seio and have 24 times turnover?
