markdadof2 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 So I am thinking about a 60 gallon cube may be in my future (not sure how far away at this point). I am thinking a closed loop system for flow, and a refugium down below. I think a 250w MH would be good for a tank this size. What skimmer would you guys think would be best? What pump for flow would be best? Any suggestions on a refugium as well? I hope to start buying components soon so any suggestions would be welcome Thank you Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef-fisher Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Im also looking into setting up a 60gal cube. I have a rps1000 on my 100 gallon system now and it works great. I will be transferring it to the new system. Im a big fan of the recirc skimmers and am somewhat biased, (so there are more options), but thats what I would suggest. Lighting is a whole separate thread...everyone has their own opinions. Personally, I think a 250 hqi would be perfect if you have the right fixture/reflector. For a pump, depends on the gph you are looking for. Is this the closed loop pump or return? In sump or external? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 I was thinking a pump for the closed loop pump...what brand and size would you suggest? I will probably go with a 250W MH hung over the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef-fisher Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I think eheim pumps are great. Maybe a 1262? Depends on how many outlets, and is it going through a wave device of any sort(scwd)? Im assuming you are going for an sps tank... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
