So I have recently acquired a new tank.... I am upgrading from a 36x18x24 to a 60x18x25. I am excited about the tank since I haven't had one for about a year now. I have been collecting equipment since I broke the other one down and would like opinions on what I have this far.
Skimmer- Reef Octopus Hurricone Cat 1.
Wave maker- Ecotech MP 40w ES x2
Lighting- Aqua Illuminations Vega color x3.
Sump- open to ideas. The new tank came with a eshopps wet to dry trickle that had bio balls with it. So would like some opinions as to what I should do with this.
Return- either a Mag-drive 12 or 9.5 I have both. Will post some pics shortly.

Opinions are appreciated and welcomed. :)

Very sweet setup. That skimmer and lighting kicks *** as well as the wavemakers. I'm currently ordering a new sump for mine and after a lot of research I went with trigger systems, just because of how nice of a sump I could get for the money, but that is really an opinion item. I'm not big on eshopps for almost anything, but if you take the bioballs out of it you can make yourself a nice sump out of it. I don't think that skimmer would fit in it though. I'd test that first.
 
I will look at a trigger systems sump and see about it. Lol. Thanks for the suggestion.
 
Looking good bro!
 
Thank you!!! My current task is to find a sump that will accomidate the skimmer I have. A 14x14 footprint is no slouch. So I am looking for either a tank I can add baffles to or for a sump. LOL....
