So when I started with my first saltwater tank on october 2012 I started with a 55 gallon tank and truth be told was a disaster I screwed up the salinty level and pretty much my starter damsel all passed .T_T. after fixing up my salinity level.
Everything seem fine and two months later I upgraded to a 75 gallon tank and stand for a really good price.
That was when my customer hit me up about m.r and after that I was all up in it. So I ended up doing the stupid mistake of buying corals without having a sump and everything it needed long story short I ended up having a hydroids problem killed of the hydroids then my corals ended up dying.
So around june once again I finally get a break I purchased from a customer a 90 gallon reef ready tank. So here is were I need help from you guys not that long ago I purchased a sump from a m.r member now I need to know what is the return sump I should get for it.
My friend said that I need to measure from the floor to the tank honestly I dunno why I had to do that but its was around 4 to 5 ft in height another thing i want to know what is the return pump gph suppose to be.
I read on some peoples comments that the ehiem pump model 1260 was good for a 90 gallon tank and the gph on it is 635 but am hearing from other people that i should do alot more research on it another person is telling me i need to go higher then that and i just recently got a guy who said that i can do a maxijet 1200.
I want to hear you guys opinion I will send pics on what my tank looks light now the sump and i would really appreciate all of your help thank you.
