Lactimar's small ocean

So tank almost here. Had alot of hold ups etc. So starting to get all the oarts together. Equipment list up to now.

Skimmer: bubble magus curve 7
Lights: 3x Aqua illumination hydra 26hds and dual T5 80watt unit
Return pump: 8000 or 10000l. What do you think?
Carbon and phosgaurd going to run in mini bubble magus reactors
Going to run bio cubes with the bomb method
Looking at the Glamorca gyre pumps. Anyone using them with some feedback? I guess ill need two of them?
Already have 2x 300 watt jagers heaters on a stc controller.
ATU is sorted.
What am i missing?
 
What size return do you recommend i run?
How many outlets going into the tank? And will it be running the reactors as well? Will you be getting a controllable DC pump?
Carbon and phosgaurd passive or reactor?
Personally I prefer reactors as you can control the flow through the media. Carbon can be run passively as long as it is in a good flow area, but phosphate media is definitely recommended to be run in a reactor.

I have 2 outlets going into tank. Will be running a refugium. Was thinking 8000 or 10000l dc return. Think it will be jebao. Im thinking reactors for both because i ran carbon passive in previous setups and dont think it was so successful. Im looking at these bubble magus mini 70 or 80 reactors. 500ml size. It has its own pump
 
So this tank came to a quick not going to happen anymore. Im not going into the reasons but now im searching for a new tank. Getting a few quotes from other tank builders. Also im looking at the red sea reefer 525 xl and 625xxl and the Aquaria 1.5m. Anyone with some takes on each of the tanks? Pros and cons?
 
So my first box of goodies arrived today. Thanks to Bryan and the Jungle Aquatics team. Little birdie told me the tank should arrive tomorrow

That is so awesome! Enjoy setting it up!
 
Awesome! Did you get LED’s from Red Sea? Connecting my lights today.
No and yes. Haha i bought 3 AI hydra 26 hds from a fellow reefer that upgraded his to radions. So they coming from a red sea tank just got them cheaper and they are a week old
