    If you would change ANYTHING I would change your tank size.

    The words "Regret" will echo in your head forever .....

    PLEASE PLEASE try and make room for a 120. I know you will come to regret it.

    If you google "Precision Marine: + "Bullet" you will get many articles and info. Euro Reefs are needle skimmers. Very Energy efficient but not very good at "gook" removal when compared to becket skimmers, which is what the bullet is.

    If you want the best skimming, you want to go with a bullet.

    For sumps...if you have not read up go to melevs reef and ready. He is the king of sump theory and design.

    I am sure the 120 would be superior to the 90 but it just aint in the cards for me. I already have to much invested in the stand and canopy not to mention the tank already being purchased. I just dont have 1100.00 to throw away that ive already spent for what i have, not to mention my space constraints. Thanks for the help

    +2 on the skimmer, ACIII and the ugly powerheads in the tank. Another thing is size your pump to return your water from the sump and run your skimmer plus reactors off a manifold. Buy a bigger pump then use it's power to run Ca reactor, PO4 reactor, carbon...etc. That way you won't have a bunch of pumps and i never run a submerged pump in my system...all external.

    Hey Otty, so u have heard good things about this precision marine bullet skimmer also? I was on their site and they have a lot of good looking equipment. To run everything i need i have listed what kinda pump would u recommend, i do wanna stay external for heat reasons. Im also at a loss for a sump, precision marine had some nice sumps....
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks
