New 125 equipment question

[Pscheppe89]

Hello, i was thinking about setting up a new 125g tank. I am not sure yet of its gonna be FOWLR or not. For the sake of argument lets assume im going to be putting corals in there.
So here is a list of all the equipment im gonna be putting in there and suggestions or advice is much appreciated.

30g sump
[h=1]Eheim 1262 Universal Pump (900 GPH)[/h][h=1]Hydor Koralia Evolution Powerhead Evolution 1500 (1500gph) X2[/h][h=1]Reef Octopus NWB200 8†Pinwheel In Sump Protein Skimmer[/h][h=1]Eheim JAGER TruTemp Aquarium Heater 250 watt X1[/h][h=1]Hydor Smart Level Controller Auto Top Off[/h]
Also if anyone knows of a good starter light for a decent price please give me a heads up.

Since im already here if anyone would like to comment on my stocking list here it is.

1 flame angel
1 powder blue tang or powder brown (blue hippo but i dont think he will "fit")
2 clown fish
3 gobies (if they would all get along)
1 six lined wrasse
5-7 random damsels\chromis probably blue sapphire damsels

Would go with a 40 breeder for a sump. 1/3 is recommended for a sump for flood purposes

Everything seems ok to me

If you want LEDs for lighting check out reefbreeders led. Damsels can be pretty aggressive.

From what I've read before (I have no experience) the blue hippo would probably be okay for a little while but eventually would need a 7'+ tank. And I agree damsels may become too aggressive I would go with chromis (I feel like I read they're related though, not entirely sure)

Your list is almost identical to what I already have on my 125RR. I will tell you that single Jager will not keep the temp where it needs to be. They are massively overrated. I got that one in 300 watt and a cobalt 250 watt.

Also add a ReefKeeper Elite controller.

+1 On the 40B If you can fit it. Offers so much more space.

+1 On the heater not being strong enough. prob going to need two 250W Them Jagers claim to heat a lot of water. Check out all the other heaters. Most claim a 300W would be for a tank around 80G. Especially after what ReeferBob just stated. I wouldnt trust their claims.

What about any reactors? Carbon, Biopellets, GFO, Kalk.

 

[Pscheppe89]

lots of good feedback.

ill have to put some research into controllers and reactors

i will also take some time to look at these LEDS.

thanks for the help
