    So I guess I got lucky when I found my new tank and stand for $20! Its a 30, not very pretty, but for my first saltwater tank I think it will do. I have modified the stand to fit a 10 gallon sump, and now I am looking to purchase equipment. I need recommendations on a pump and skimmer. I know for a pump I'm looking for 5 to 10 X turnover an hour, but what brands are good? I need a submersible, as I not going to drill the little sump. As far as skimmers...is ASM a good brand? Height is a concern, and I need to put it in the sump. Here's a link to the ASM unit. http://www.fish.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=710305 075

    Thanks in advance!!!

    Thanks for the info Iraf! On last question...should the return line be the same diameter as the overflow? Both will be DIY of course
