After much negotiations with my husband we finally decided on and bought a tank, now for the set up process! We ended up w/ a 120RR aqueon ... Holy cow are those things heavy! I've maintained quite a few RR setups but have never actually assembled one, this should be an adventure. I plan on utilizing a 40b for a sump, but I'm not sure what I'll need for a pump or hardware. I looked at the kits but wasn't satisfied with the way they are built. The tank has 2 overflows with a 1.5" & 3/4". Iir hole in each. I want to utilize all the holes.
1. Should I use 1 pump and split the return or 2 separate? I'm leaning towards 2, incase 1 pump goes on me. And eventually once our stock outgrow the tank my husband gets it for SW... So I can run a skimmer or uv off one? Or is splitting 1 the better route?
2. I plan on doing a very basic wet/dry bio/ mech set up. What's your stands on bio balls/scrubbies/biomedias? ATM I'm in love with my bio wheels, even looked into the tide pool sumps.
Thanks for any imput or suggestions! Pics of set ups would also be welcome!
