hi all,
so i've had a freshwater tank for a couple years now and ive decided it was time to try my hand at a saltwater tank. so far i have a 40 gallon breeder(which i plan on drilling) and a 29 gallon for a sump. i have ordered 60#s of pukani rock from brs. i have also ordered the 5 stage ro/di unit and a reef octopus nwb 200 skimmer. i know the skimmer is overkill but i figure its better to spend a little more now and be able to use it if i upgrade down the road.
i have been looking at koralia evolution and sicce powerheads and was wondering if anyone has any advice as to which ones are better? also how many should i use in a 40? im looking into the 700 gph overflow from gl*******s if that helps with flow rates.
i know i have a long way to go, but i would like to do it right the first time.
thanks, dan
