My boyfriend wants to start a 75G saltwater tank. It will be a reef tank eventually and we would like to drill it. We are either going to get a used 75G and do the plumbing this week or just buy a 75G new and do the plumbing next week. We will be doing this over the course of a couple pay checks.
We want to do softies, lps and zoanthids.
What do you guys suggest for an overflow gph and bulkhead size as well as pvc size?
What size sump should we be using? Half the total volume right? That's 37.5 so I'm thinking a 40G sump?
What kind of protein skimmer would be good for this size as well?
Also for lighting would two or three 120W or 165W dimmable a do? I also saw a 300W dimmable on eBay is that any good?
And the last question for now is what should we use for circulation pumps and what GPH total are we aiming for?
Thanks all
