    Lets Talk about salt mixes

    Ok, ya i guess that makes sense, i can get oceanic pretty cheap my LFS buys in bulk from then the 120g bags which are for them and sells to us for like 30 bucks so cant really beat that. Il stick with that since i have had no issues and it seems to mix up just fine to me.

    Calcuim, phosphate and nitrate reactors

    I was wondering if these have to be run separate or if there is a way to run all of them together in a single reactor? Also how efficient are they, i have never used them but i see alot of people on here use them so im curious and there not too expensive, so what are the pros and cons to each?

    pleas help is this the correct pump?

    ok, you want slow flow in your sump so it doesnt create lots of micro bubbles, and so that your skimmer can pull everything out. You want high flow for the display tank using powerheads or a closed loop. If you did create multiple outlets it would actually slow down the flow because it would...

    Which overflow would u reccomend?

    i believe cpr overflows are the best, i may be wrong and im sure someone will chime in, but its better to get a good overflow or if will end up causing problems later on, when i had mine i tried to save some money and got a cheap one and it sucked, the siphon would always break and the drain...

    pleas help is this the correct pump?

    mag pumps are good as well, idk if you need a mag 7 but you could also use a T to slow down the flow if needed, i think someone mentioned earlier you want slower flow for the sump and lots of flow for the display, im using a mag 7 on my 75g but i have it split into three.
