    Hi guys
    I got all this equipment and I need to install it on my 78 gal tank. I will put the 30 gal refugium behind the tank and the rest next to it or on the side. I need ideas how to hock it up. Skimmer doesn't have place inside the fuge, but maibe I will put it on the top, next to the light. I want to know if I can use 2 overflows one on each side or a bigger one only on one side. I can get a double overflow for like 1200 gph and use the via aqua 4900 pump for return and ad on the chiller and UV sterilizer.Let me know what do you think about this guys.More ideas are welcome.Allots of drawings to.I love this hobby when it get's to this point ;D
    I use:
    Precision Reef PRCAL Calcium Reactor(MagDrive2 pump)
    Precision Reef PR-KR1 Kalk Reactor(Maxi-Jet 600 pump)
    Milwaukee SMS125 pH/ORP Controller
    PinPoint pH Monitor
    600 GPH Overflow(I think is 600 not sure)
    PlainJane Welcon Dosing pump for my kalkreactor(not sure what pump to use)
    Oceanic Systems Plus Series Model 6 Protein Skimmer
    Aquanetics 15IL 15Watt UV Sterilizer
    Current Prime 1/10 Chiller
    20 LB CO2 tank with JBJ Regulator
    I got other equipment I can use with this setup:
    2 x MagDrive 7
    1 x MagDrive 5
    1 x MagDrive 3
    1 x Eheim 1250
    1 x Maxi-Jet 900
    1 x ViaAqua 4900(1321gph)
    1 x ViaAqua VA-305 Power Head 315gph
    4 x Seio Super Flow M620 gph

    WOW your going all out right away. Very cool.

    So you will be using the 30G as a sump/Fug? Looks like your skimmer is nice and small. so it should fit in your sump. I would recomend putting it below the tank maybe in the stand?
