Default Thinking of upgrading my tank to 222 gallon

What do you guys think about this skimmer?

Aqua Medic : Seawater Catalogue : Filter systems : Riff 2000

Its the aqua medic reef 2000. Skimmer, denitrification, calcium reactor, Biofilter, automated top off, and sump.

Jeez...is there anything this doesnt do? Opinions?

All ill need is a mechanical filter right?

I also heard its a noisy system. Anyone know if thats true?


_________

65 Gallon
Eheim Wet/Dry Bio Filter
Eheim Mechanical Filter
Maxi Jet 250 (for flow in the tank)
Maxi Jet 500 (to move the surface of the water)
Tunze Nano DOC Skimmer 9002
3 Fish (True Purc Clown, Naso Tang, Purple Tang)
5 pieces Live Rock (3 Mushrooms, 2 rhodactis hairy mushroom)

You won't need a mechanical filter. It has sponges inside the sump.

That thing looks like it could turn straw into gold.

I suppose if you want plug and play and just start it up, this is going to do everything for you. I wonder about the cost though.

$3000 USD

My tank will have have a water capacity of 924 Liters without rocks. Im sure the amount of actual water will be significantly less. This system is cabable of a 1500 Liter tank. Is that overkill? Should i go for the 1000 Liter model?
