Equipment recommendations


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am planning for my 5x2.5x2(ht) mixed reef tank. It will be for my new house in 2016. Most likely to engage CRA.

Sump is around 3.5x2x1.5.

A) What is a reliable in sump skimmer and external return pump? Appreciate on brand/model recommendations. I don't have unlimited budget but I place great emphasis on reliability. Hate to troubleshoot unnecessarily.

My current tank is a 3ft with eheim compact 5000+ return pump.

B) T5 lighting. Is 8 tubes overkill? Brand/model?

C) compressor brand/model?

D) wave maker. Will continue to use jebao if I can get it hooked up to apex neptune.

That is all for now. Thanks.
