1st off I would like to thank all of you for the great forum and advice. This is such a wonderful resource for newbies (like us) Our plan for now is FOWLR in a 75 gal tank on a DIY stand ala garf with a 20 gal sump. For water movement I'm thinking 2 maxi jet 1200 and a 600 in the tank and a mag 7 from the sump. We really like the LR/LS filter so we are doing 200 lbs dead sand from HD and 40 lbs LS, and around 140 Lbs of rock. I'm not sure how much of the rock will be live right off the bat hopefully 60+ lbs. We will be adding a protein skimmer in the next few months.
After many hours of reading and lurking here I do have a few questions:
1 we need a overflow box, any recommendations and vendors?
2 We only have a single outlet near the tank so powerstrips will be my friend, can we expect any problems with this? I really do not want to see my breaker box.
3 Hows my water movement? any tips?
4 Any recommendations on good cheap PC lighting?
Thank so much
