pdxmonkeyboy Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 so for my first foray into reefing I am building a frag tank this weekend. it's going to be 4x2x14". My return pump is around 100gph and I was going to use two outlets with the swirly thing a ma bobs on them. I want to focus on SPS so I thought a wavemaker or two would be good. I'm going to get a jabeo but can't decide if two rw-4 (nano tank wavemakers) or a single rw-8 would be better? any thoughts? I'm super super super excited to get this up and running soon! thanks !

chriscarper_21 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I would say 2 RW-8's . I ran 2 RW-15's on a 180 it was perfect. They are also making gyere pumps to. This where I get all my jabeo pumps http://www.fish-street.com/jebao_wifi_cross_flow_pump_cp-25?search_string=Cp++pumpSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmas_one Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Nothing good happens fast with SPS. Most hobbyist frag tanks you see are non-SPS. If you are serious about fragging and growing out SPS, you will want to start with a stable established system. Most people will have a frag tank plumbed into such a system so that they have some square footage to work with. I'm not trying to discourage you, but if you are new to reefing, running a SPS grow out is going to be about the steepest learning curve for a beginner.

pdxmonkeyboy Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 yes, I realize that I'm doing the equivalent of starting to race cars by climbing in an F1 car but I'm going to give it some serious effort and attention and I will start with some Zoa and easier sps. I have a 70 gallon frag and 30 gallons of sump. I'm running filter socks, curve 5 skimmer and I'm thinking fuge with rock. I will also dose 2 part when the time comes. any suggestions? I am also planning to attend the meeting this weekend to pick up any tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxmonkeyboy Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 I went ahead and feebayed a pair of sw-8s for $115. The SW are supposed to be their latest and greatest. thanks a bunch for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
