I got a tank being drilled now, two 1" drains at the local shop. 55 gal. Im going to run a sump with filter stack/skimmer/bubble trap/return pump section with multiple ball valves/isolated refugium. Building the sump tomorrow. Have had the tank running with fish (hog choker, large sea stars, mottled purse crabs, calico crabs, and a midshipman) for a few weeks, saved the water and fish in trash cans. I got some odd fish I know.. caught them in my shrimp net. I used gulf water for the tank from 40 miles out. I can get a bunch more from there too!

Question is, whats a good pump for the return pump, and what would be a good pump for a homemade 4" skimmer?
