    New Setup Need Input...

    Right now I currently have a 110 gal. SW with ~150lbs. of liverock and 3" of crushed coral. I have a fluval canister which I'm removing the media from today to increase circulation through my UV sterilizer. For powerheads I have 1-802. 2-ViaAqua 1300's. 1 misc. and 5 microjets that i've transformed into a makeshift overflow to circulate surface water. Within the year we are planning on moving and then I can get "serious" about my little hobby. I am planning on geting a 220g or so and converting the 110 into a sump/ref. Right now I'm looking into things to purchase for the transformation. I also have a Iwaki wmd40xltr that is not in use because of microbubble problems. I plan to use it on the new system. I could use some suggestions on water movement. I think I have the skimmer and lighting narrowed down to ER and HQI's with VHO's. I'm looking at the tunze system, but I'm not sure. How long do those pumps last? It's a lot of coin for a powerhead. It will be a Coral setup, after a while hopefully stonies. Thanks for the help in advance. I'll take all the suggestions I can get.

    BTW. I had an idea on how to have the woman (or man) in your life love Reefing as much as we do. See pic. She said YES

    Thumbs up U R A Genius

    The wife factor, for many of us a slight problem. She keeps us from converting our life savings into the glowing shiny thing in the livingroom. In the beginning it was like; "look honey I just traded in the crab for an additional 50lb of live rock" Well eventually they do catch on. I will give that a try. I am married already, so for now a simple "i love you" will hopefully get her to look and appreciate the tank a bit more. HE HE HE
