Convert my freshwater tank to marine. Need advice on the list.

List:

Tank - 2ftx1.5ftx1.5ft
Sump - 2ftx1ftx1ft (DIY)
Overflow - DIY
Return Pump - JEBAO DC-3000 ECO
Chiller - Arctica 1/10hp - Use return pump
Light - Maxspect razor 120W 16K
Skimmer - Not decide
Plan to share the return pump with chiller. Now still can't decide the return pump and skimmer. Should I upgrade to Jebao DC-5000 and what skimmer better?

How about a Bubble Magus Curve 5 or curve 7 for your tank. I bought the Curve 5 for my tank and quite like it even though it is rated for 500litres. The skimmer started skimming the junk after about 2 hours of running. It is also very silent and runs at only 8w. The footprint is 18.5cm x 18cm. Therefore, a 20cm x 20cm will be enough for this skimmer. The only sound coming out from my cabinet is the drain pipe but it is still very silent.

Tank: 3.5ft x 2ft x 1.5ft, 12mm

Sump: 3ft

Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 7

Lightings: Maxspect 15000k

Return Pump: Eheim 1252

Wavemaker: Jebao WP25, Jebao RW-8

Kindly pm the BM curve 5 skimmer price.

Bro, your filter sock is above the glass wall and need to becareful because once choke, the water will overflow from the top. Make sure it is not close to the glass wall to prevent spillage.
