i built a 220+ 55gal refugium i need help choosing gear for it so far i have a mag 5 return pump and 2x double bright LED light fixtures for the refugium and a fluval fx5 for main tank. i was looking at 2x24" 6 bulb aquaticlife t5 ho fixtures for the main tank 2x jagger 150watt heaters. what kind of heater controller would you reccomned? is there another 24" light fixture that would be sufficient lighting for a 200 gal fresh water tank that wont cost me 800$s!!!?!?! uv steralizer...was thinking of Ying my return adding a ball valve to dial down water flow through a uv sterilizer. with this much lighting i was thinking some algea control is needed. any feedback is greatly apreciated. i think thats about it. id like to finish this in the next month so i can set it up and show it off :naughty:
 
just to clear it up im adding the UV steralizer to the mag5 return wich i think the distance to return will put it at about 300gph (little more than i wanted but i liked the reviews on the pump) dont want you to think im adding it to the fluval as that will be seperate filtration for the main tank not the refugium in any way
