Subman's Jump into the big leagues (225g)

[subman]

Here is some details on the tank it's extra beefy and heavy!!! (looking for strong volunteers!!)

The tank is 5/8" glass for the sides and 3/4" bottom, eurobraced and black silicone all around. The returns are. two 3/4" and the two drains are 1 1/2".

Whats everyone's opinion on some of my equipment?

Is my bk mini 180 enough skimmer?

3 mp10's?

what return pump?

Not that I have had a tank of that size, but I cant see the mp10's doing much especially with the length of your tank. If your gunna do vortechs I would say mp40 atleast if not mp60.

Yeah, I've got to agree with this. I've got about 12,000 GPH in my 225 and I may be adding some more. Can't have enough flow IMO

[subman]

yeah I run them across the back of my tank now and they move a lot of water but I think your right
anyone wanna trade 3 mp10's for 2 mp40's

[Aysha]

Not seeing any replies on this, I thought I'd chime in.
I don't have a recommendation for you, but your's is only rated up to 200g.
I'd have to say it's only half what you need.
But, it's a quality skimmer, so it may get you by for awhile while you search for one larger.

I'll just call it out now... SKIMZ = poor mans Bubble King. Granted, I dont have alot of skimmer experience, but I rarely touch it and took very little to tune in.

When is the sub sponsored move event happening?
