    I currently have a 75 Gallon Mixed Reef that I will be upgrading to the 90. I know it ain't much of an upgrade but I have a new custom made stand and canopy and had to move the tank due to floor damage.

    I basically am buying all new equipment. And this is what I have so far

    2 Ecotech Radions that will be upgraded to Gen 2
    All new Schedule 80 Plumbing with inline manifold for Chiller and reactors.

    Tunze Osmolator ATO
    Bubble Magus Dosing Pump

    Now what would be the best size pump for me to run return and manifold with chiller and dual separate flow reactor.

    I thought about purchasing the Reef Octopus DC 10500 Adjustable Pump.

    Nice Upgrade, NWB-150 works like a top. Can't wait to see this all falling into place. Good Luck.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for the GPH rate on return pump for my set up with manifold?

    Dry fitting the manifold pieces, this thing turned out being bigger than I thought but I will make it work. The ADHI Fuge light which comes with the sump is on the bulky side.
