- 2X175watt halides 14k iwaskis What ballast should i use?
-2x110watt VHO
-red dragon return pump good choice which one?

get 2 heaters..this way one id not forced to work as hard adn you alwasy have a back up.
if the sump comes with Bio balls .. dont use them

the sea.. yes that is a good size.
MH's use the icecap ballast..

not sure about the red dragons.. i like the sequence pumps my self

for Ph monitors, pick up a pinpiont set, and maybe a handheld probe to do a quick check..

how deep is the tank? if it is close to 24 inches deep i would jump to the 250w MH's instead..

Ok thanks for the suggestions the tank is more than 24" deep so i will do the 250's should i do duble ended or single ended? I will do two heaters. Also thinkn of getting a chiller any recomendations there?

People around here seem to like the Pacific coast 1/10 hp chillers.

I know I do, they are good for the price!

the two bulbs are a 6 of one kinda 1/2 dozen of the other.. it is all the cost of it..

if you want to save on the ballast go with a PFO dual 250w setup.

Yes PFO is very good. I see you want a controller. Look into Neptune controller or the Reefkeeper2

I think im aqtually just going to use the Aquamedic ocean light pendants are these any good also i noticed the price on the red dragon pumps are very high are the pan world pumps a good choice and are they quiet?
