Im currently running a sumpless tank with everything HOB. Will be upgrading to a RSR 170 and browsed the net for builds. Have a few questions in mind and would like to ask for advice. Im thinking of a mixed reef or lps/softies.

 

 

Skimmer: Reef Octopus 110 Space Saving

Lightning: AI Hydra 26 HD

 

*Still deciding*

Flow: MP10 or Tunze 6055 (Quantity??)

Is the integrated ATO sufficient?

Is GFO necessary? If so which bio reactor? Or what kinds? Im confused with them.

Chiller: Hailea 28a

 

Is there anything i should? My budget around 2k plus minus excluding the light as i already have them.

You can try a fluidized media reactor for activated carbon and/or GFO. They have them in stock at madpetz and you can get the mini BulkReefSupply reactor at reefing reality. GFO helps a lot with keeping your phosphates and silicates(which are one of many pest algae’s favorite nutrient) in check, so for a reef tank(or any display tank actually), they’re definitely worthwhile

If you running GFO Rowa or AF phos minus is a good choice.
