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

    I would say yes to the returns each corner is pre drilled with 2 holes.
