    I thought I posted, but I guess I didn't.

    What would everyone suggest for a heater for this tank?

    That's the brand that keeps coming up, seems like a wise choice.

    The circuit for the tank goes in tommorow! Trying to convince a guy I know to drive 4 hours to help me to plumb it. I've thrown in an ocean-view hotel room and a greasy fish-and-chips dinner to sweeten the pot.

    Well bummer, seems like my fish friend isn't able to come. Hopefully my local plumber friend can help... He can cut and glue, I'll micromanage. I don't know why I am obsessing about the plumbing. I am very comfortable with the actual keeping of the reef, but setting up this tank is causing me great anxiety. The day I start dumping water in I will feel more in my element.

    After doing some math, I realized that my current return pump is not big enough, so I just ordered a Sicce 4.0. It will arrive next week along with:
    80 lbs of sand
    200 gallon bag of salt
    New RODI with integrated booster pump
    Jäger heater
    Assorted plumbing pieces
    As well as an order from reefs to go... Starfish for my harlequin shrimp (going to see if they eat frozen. Hope so) and a rainbow Acan I couldn't resist. Thank goodness I'm upgrading... The 60 is full!!!!

    I went with the Eheim Jager 250 watt for my 90. We're upgrading at the same time...I'm going from a 46 to a 90. I will be following your progress!
