Good reef equipment

[puffcrusader696]

Here is the place to post equipment you've used or are still using that are of good quality, effictiveness, or all of the above. Anything that has worked well on your reef is good enough to be put on here. I don't want to hear any "well this brand pump isn't good" or "this skimmer isn't good" or any negatives like that. Only positives. Lets get a good list of reliable equipment going so any reefer looking to set up a new tank or upgrade equipment can get a good reference on what to buy. (this should be a sticky)

well things that i have used that i have been very happy with so far:

sunlight supply tek lighting units. offer good quality built units, strong ballasts and very good reflectors for the extra punch required for T5HO bulbs.

AquaC EV series skimmers. I currently own a 150 model and this thing is a hog. As long as your have the skimmer in your first chamber of the sump, with controled water level, this thing will never need adjusting.

IceCap products. Reflectors are top notch, ballasts are very efficient. currently running 8 bulbs, and my electric bill barely went up.

thats a pretty good list for one post lol... for me I would say if you are on a budgett and need serious flow, the maxi-jet eco-mods are really efficient and work great... although they don't work with wavemakers...

Any reef products by octopus are top notch. I use a skimmer and a T5 light fixture litemaster on some tanks at work and havnt used better equipment.
