ok so i read all the articles on here and they helped to answer alot of questions but i still have some questions and ideas
here is my idea:
50-80 gallon tank drilled with 5 holes: 2 overflow holes about 3 inches down from the water level fitted with strainers small enough that the octo's beak cant fit through it (i heard this is the sizing rule) and then 3 holes for return fitted the same way
20-30 gallon sump(maybe bigger whats a good size?) with room for the skimmer,return pump, filter sock,and heater (anything else>?)
coralife super skimmer 125/220(thinking on the higher side)
return pump to make the tank have about 15x turn over(is this enough/to much)
the tank will have tons of decoratons and little play toys and such and a shallow bed of live sand and a tight lid aso i will just have some regular NO florecent lights unless im allowed to have corals (zoas only but that can change if others are allowed) then ill probably have T5's or MH
how does this whole system sound? thanks for looking
