Well yesterday I took the plunge and bought myself a 220 gallon tank (An upgrade from my 90 gallon) and now I am trying to get the gear and have it running in the near future!
Was looking for a little advice on a couple of things

1. Will a mag drive 18 be enough of a return pump for this tank? If not please give me a suggestion.


2. What heater should I go with?


3. Where is a good place to purchase cheap base rock?


4. What is a reasonable lighting fixtures for me that isn't outrageous like the radions, or the AI Hydras.

Thanks in advance for the responses all advice is welcome
 
Mag 18 would have 1100gph @ 5' of head loss. How many overflows do you have? 2 1" overflows would allow you 1800gph, and the Mag should do ok.
Many suggestions for that one, assuming its in the sump, the glass Jager 300watts would do nicely.
I like the Marco Rocks
