Then for now I'm going to run the 2 korilla 4s I have. The plan is to save pennies and grab 2 or 4 vortecs w/ battery back up and the wiresless controller when ever they come out.
I'm still not sure if I'm going to do a softie/lps mixed tank with a nice anemone and clowns (I've never had clows as I thought they were to nemoish), or plan for an intense SPS system??? |
SPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love SPS, and with that skimmer I think the choice is made for you 
What do you plan to use as a return pump? 2, 1" drains puts you at about 12,000 GPH max right?
My 180 has only 2, 3/4" drains

Right now I'm thinking of running a panworld 200 ps that I have laying around. I want to split the pump to the tank, the Po4/carbon leg that will feed the 40 gallon tank in the wetroom and the skimmer. Right now i'm trying to use what I have laying around as finances for tanks is a little(OK a lot) tight

Got it done before the temp broke 80. The antenna this time was on a flat roof, near the edge. The antenna only weighs about 30 lbs. and is about 4" around at it's largest point.
