I am planning a 120 gallon FOWLR tank. I have been told two methods of doing this from LFS. One says do the tank with UV sterilizer, overflows and sump with skimmer in sump. The other says I don't need overflow, sump or protein skimmer if doing FOWLR. He recommends UV sterilizer and canister filter for now and adding the protein skimmer on back of tank later if I decide to get into corals.
What do you think is the best way to go ? I would save about some money by not doing the sump and skimmer now.
Do the hang on back skimmers make any noise or would skimmer be quieter underneath in sump as this system will be in a home theater room and needs to be as quiet as possible ?
Will the water get enough oxygen going closed loop without the sump ? I would appreciate advice from anyone with either of these systems . THANKS,
MIKE
