I believe the general rule of thumb is to aim for between 3-5X your tank volume per hour to flow through your sump, and 6-10X your sump volume. So...
Google reverse dursos. My picture shows mine. Basically, the idea is to have a section of pipe rise straight above where it enters the sump. Cap it...
What are your plans for the tank? Mixed reef? I have 3 value fixtures over my 125 and they are perfect. I imagine you should be fine even with the...
Ok, now I understand! Here is a picture of an Eshopps R-200 sump for an example: [IMG] Water enters on the left side, which is also the skimmer...
Welcome to 3reef Fernando!

I love Tail Spots :) Awesome fish, with great personalities!
Congrats on the successful move! Boy, your 55 looks already full! Good thing the 125 is in the works :)

My BSJ was $130 at my LFS. They are worth it though. Their spots fluoresce under the actinics :) Awesome personalities too. Just do your research on...
You know the saying, if its free, its for me! Except when its 1,500 miles away...
Either that guy is tiny, or this tank is huge ;D
Even more awesome! Looking forward to seeing the build thread :)
I am loving all of the details on this build thread. I wish I had the time to document like you are doing. Really shows how much work goes into...
+1 I would go with the 5 Cardinals for the reasons Cheryl mentioned. The other stocking list sounds fine as well. I would not add the Flasher Wrasse...
