Skimmers, Lights, Pumps?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ah okay... maybe I should try one then. I lost the auction in the last 45 seconds.

Any of these good? Lol... sorry. I'm just trying to work out the best one I can in order to be able to have the most diversity.

I think the first and last ones are the same fixture.

Good overflow for a possible Sump? In my case is a sump necessary? I'd like to be able to do one but I don't know if the benefits outweigh the risks. I've never drilled a tank before and I don't have a diamond hole saw and I looked and those are rather expensive in my area... that and I haven't the foggiest how to plumb a sump. I plan on wither using a 20 gallon tank or a pre plumbed one from the LFS whichever is going to be cheaper and doesnt' require me to have to do something I've never done before with tools I don't know how to use properly. I might can ask if a Club Member can plump one for me for a cost. I dunno if that'll be cheaper though. That way I can put my Skimmer and heater in there. I've read that they keep the water level constant and make water changes easier and allows solutions to pre-mix in the sump before going back to the display tank. That's a nice feature. Is 400 gph enough? Thats 10 x the volume of the tank.
