    Hello all,

    I currently have a 12 gallon nano and am in the process of setting up my 120 g reef. setup looks like this
    2 400 w mh 10k, 3 110w actinic 1 110w 10k, korallin 1502 calc reactor, aqua c ev240 skimmer, 1/3hp chiller, 2 1 inch sea swirls, 1 mag 18 for the skimmer, and I am trying to decide on a reeflo dart or the poseidon t4 too run it all.

    any suggestions are always appreciated.

    welcome m5devf- this is a good place to get info- check the forums and you will find something about just about everything and DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS as the people here are quite knowledgeable and friendly. My favorite piece of advice is to G-O S-L-O-W-L-Y with your setup -I hope you enjoy your new tank.

    Welcome to 3reef!

    Don't be afraid to ask questions...this site has saved me from breaking my tank down in frustration many a time!

    12 to 120 gallons, I wish I could do a 1000% upgrade...waddaya think...550 gallons too much or not enough?

    Welcome to 3Reef m5dev!

    As far as recomendations, I would go with the Dart JMO. The poseidon t4 is nice if your looking for something that is ultra quiet, but as far as performance I would have to say the Sequence!
