would i be better of with a closed loop system or accsessorie driven circulation., (vortex pumps)

i really only opted for power heads for circulation because i do not understand what is involved in a closed loop system.,

does anybody know about the quality of aquamedic products? particulary Metal halides and skimmers?

check www.customaquatic.com/ for all your need's and as far as halides go with Ice Cap fixtures for your tank best bang for your buck.

unfortunatly my location being in australia makes it almost impossible to find all the range and brands you guys can, i dont belive ice cap have a distributor here.,

my only real options unless i just use shop fitters,. are aqua one, aquamedic or arcadia

aquamedic products are in my price range im just unsure of the quality as i have not heard many people speak of this brand
 
for a 4x2x2 with the intention of SPS would you recommend 250w or 400w metal halide

my other option would be a 4x18x2

could i get away with 250w lighting on a tank of this size?

because i think 400w is where i have to draw the line

so this is my sump design sorry if it is unclear (im not really a good designer lol),., please let know what you think what you would change.,

my questions are would there be a large enough skimmer space to hold the aquamedic turbo flotor 3000 blue foot print 14" by 7"

is this refugium large enough for 120 gallons
