Mechanical side of a 100g

[kilo]

None of this is set in stone, if you've been looking through my thread some won't be new,some stuff will but anyways I thought I'd compile a list!
All help is much appreciated

Filtration:
AquaC ev 180 skimmer
Aqueon proflex 3 (fuge setup)
BRS dual reactor (GFO and Carbon)
Aquamaxx biamaxx bio pellet reactor
Calcium reactor?

Lights:
2 AI SOL's

Flow:
Koralias + controller

Other:
I reef keeper elite +
American dj powerstrips


Am I missing anything? What do I do about dosing kalk. Etc....? If any of you guys have these, reviews would be greatly appreciated. if I picked a bad item please tell me, and if you know something that will help/do something awesome for the tank, please let me know !!

Looks like good for starting up. Until you get some serious SPS in there I wouldnt worry about the reactor or dosing pump.

I agree with lil fish...looks like a nice list, but a few of those you won't need at the start. Some people dose with a 2-part for alk and cal.

So calcium reactor and dosing aren't needed till crazy SPS? Ok, sounds good. what about the return pump? I was thinking eheim 1375, too much or too little?

Also, if you're running a bio pellet reactor you probably do not need to run GFO, as the bacteria that are taking nitrates out of the water will also remove phosphates

Ok, I might as well run the dual reactor before the bio pellet. The dual is cheaper, soo I'll go with that, thanks!

What is the best brand double end bulbs to buy

ATI I think, btw those double end are called T5

What should I do about return pump?

 

[Northstar24]

I would not run bio pellets and carbon in the BRS dual reactor. If you look on their site i am pretty sure they reccommend that bio pellets be run in their own, dedicated reactor

I wasnt going to run biopellets in the dual. That is for GFO and carbon.
