|  new 75 gallon reef setup I'm planning on buying a 75 gallon tank with a Hamilton 2 x 175w MH, 2 x 110w VHO lighting system, and a wave maker. With a maple stand and hood. Price is too good to pass up. It's not drilled and no overflow. What would be the best setup for doing a sump/refug? I don't think I'm going to cut holes into this tank. |

| What ever the biggest tank that will fit under the stand would be best.. I would get a mag 7-9 for a return pump you can T it off at the pump to get 2 retuns out of it.. Is a skimmer comming with it? What kinda corals does it come with?

| Just an empty 75 gal tank with maple stand/hood and the lights for $300. The lighting fixture is worth that pretty much. I have another option of a 90 gallon with overflow/drilled and a 30gal sump on a stand with a Mag 9 pump for the same price. I'm thinking the 90 gallon might be the better deal and just look for a deal on a seperate lighting fixture. Well the guy with the 75 gallon just emailed me and said he would include the 10gal sump he used with it. Now that may be a better deal heh. Last edited by quaddity; 09-10-2008 at 01:31 PM. |

| Didn't you just get a 175watt mh? You could just get the 90 and then another 175.. See if the guy will take 250 for the tank then use the extra 50 bucks towards a light.. That's what i would do ne ways

| built in overflow and increased water volume is always nice but unless youve got the extra cash for lighting i think id go with the 75g and just get a HOB overflow! that 90g does look pretty sweet but make sure u leave room in your budget for rock, sand, return pump, powerheads and all that good stuff
