Well, you need an Apex, first and foremost...

And maybe two Hydra 26s or two Kessils for lights... Two new MP40QDs... whatever skimmer you want... and a ton of fish and corals.

I am thanking about AI's and as for the apex it's extremely tempting but I am no good with computers

I really like those tanks. I have been checking those tanks out at Aquatic Critter.

I've been looking at reef octopuses DC pumps... Input?

I, for now, would steer clear of DC pumps. I'm running a DC return pump and have had zero issues with it but a lot of people have had them crap out after about a year or so.

Just go with an Eheim. Bulletproof. Eheim 1260 or 1262 for that tank

Get your tank yet, Calvo?

I like the Tunze for return pump. They are very reliable and more efficient them the Eheim and smaller food print. I like the 1073.050 even better than the 1073.040 as they are controllable. The 1073.050 pumps are DC pumps made by the German people

. They are very reliable.
They just cost a lot of money if you buy new and not many are sold used.
I also found that the new and improved impeller of the 1073.040 is like bullet proof. Btw, the .050 and .040 pumps are using same size impellers
good luck with your tank

I was also looking at the Nuvo tanks but just bought the Reefer 350 because I liked the external sump. I think that's the same one you're talking about, yes? I'm looking at 2 AI Hydra 26s with the Director. For movement, I was going to go with the MaxSpec Gyre XF-130, but I've been reading so many horror stories about stray voltage that I'm leaning now toward a Tunze Wavebox 6208. For skimmer I went with a Vertex Omega.
