So I am moving to a new house and finally have room in the basement to make a sump/fish room. I am just trying to plan out what I will need so I have everything ready when I move my tank to the new house. I currently have a 180 reef tank with the sump and refugium in the stand and chiller and media reactors mounted outside the stand. I just thought I would see what others might recomend for doing this. So here are my first questions.
1. What return pump should I get? Currently have an iwaki 40rxt but know this will be to small. The vertices distance old be around 12.5 feet and horizontal would be around 18 feet.
2. Should I manifold off the return line to feed my chiller and media reactors or go with seperate pumps for them?
3. Should I split the return line at the tank to have two return nozzles on each back corner of the tank or just go with one return nozzle?
Also if you have any other suggestions that would be great. Thanks for your help.
