Ok I have done corals in the past and there nice and I love them but on this new build I'm going for the beauty of Fish.

So with that being said, its a 180 gallon tank I will be running it into a Bashsea Sump with a Bashsea 8-30 twisted skimmer( a dct-12000 pump with run it), for my return I will be running a reeflo snapper.

I plan on running a manifold off the return to feed the carbon reactor and UV.

In the sump I'm planning on a sand bed with a cuc with some type of micro algae.

Now with this much filtration is there anything else I should be adding?

Inside the tank I will have dual rw-8s for flow, I'm going to have a decent amount of rock but more of a open lay out so we can see the fish swimming and such.

One question that pops up is should I have the skimmer return going into the section that the tank drains or into the section where the fuge is, and the same with the uv and carbon reactor.
