210gal with 2 overflows Pushing vertically about 9ft Horizontally about 4ft I'm looking to use mostly flexible lines to minimize the use of elbows. As for turn over rate 5-6times. Is that sufficient for a non reef tank? The pump I'm looking at is: Iwaki MD70RLT Water Pump (Japanese Motor)...

I don't have the sump yet. I'll be making one.

Is it worth it?

what benefit does a recirculating skimmer give over a non recirculating one.

Thanks for the reply. What is the difference between a sump and a wet/dry? I'm confused on that. thanks

I'm building a 180gal with a sump. What's better to use. A skimmer that sits in the sump or one that sits external to the sump? thanks

I was planning on having overflows. Are they needed?

I'm looking to upgrade from my 75gal to a 180 gal. Now I can't use anything from the old setup, other than my ocean clear mechanical filter. Everything else is a hang on. This tank will be on the 1st floor with all the filtration in the basement below. Should I get overflows with this tank...
