My husband gave me a new aquarium for mothers day.. I am not sure where to start I am new to this hobby this year and currenty have a 20 gal. The tank is 48L x 24W x 24H 120gal has two predrilled returns I need some help with the size of equipment I will need to run this tank. I have listed the items I think I need and a couple of think I was looking at in the local aqutic store. Thank you for any advise you can provide.

Does it have two drains as well? Both I and John have this same tank. I run a sea side aquatics cs5.5 skimmer, custom sump from Elegant Reef, and a sicce 3 pump.

i use a Jäger heater 150w I think, 4 koralias (2x1500,1x1050,1x750) for current.
i have about 150-175lbs of rock and probably 80lbs of sand.

its a great tank, I love the foot print. Congrats on your new gift. Any other questions let me know. I'm sure Firewater will chime in here shortly and give you his rundown

wolfman,

Thank you for the info. The 4 koralias are those powerheads?
