In a few months ill be relocating to FL while I’m in aprogram with the wounded warrior program. I won’t be able to take my 180 downwith me so I’m looking to build a new system while I’m there. Right now I knowthat I want a 24x24x18 cube. I want thistank to house SPS corals. What I need help on is an idea for a good skimmer,good return pump, and a good LED fixture. What size should I make my sump and refuge? If you could please send links with theequipment you think I should use so I can review them.

Thank you everyone for helping in advance

Sounds like a cool tank. I like the dimensions.

For a skimmer are you looking to go internal or external? Lighting will you be using a canopy?

I would go with an eheim pump. Little pricey, but quiet and I've heard they last.

Awesome tank dimensions, had been using a cube like that to house my reef up untill last week. I used a 20 gallon for a sump.

What part of Florida are you moving to? One of the local guys here has had one for sale for a while.

I'll be going to.jacksonville. i having the tank custom made and the stand will be custom made to. Thinking the stand will be made of oak and maple or some other speciality wood. Got to have a sexy stand to go with a sexy tank
