![]() Good Morning on the east coast, and welcome to canreef. I can help a bit. The Bubble Magnus skimmer will have it's own pump.(plug and play, with some minor tuning) The Mag 9.5 should be ok for your overflow. I have a mag 12 on my 72 gal, and have to turn it down a bit, using a gate valve. Any/most plumbing parts can be found a Home Depot, or Rona. Unfortunatly my set up has a built in overflow, and i don't have a lot of experience with external overflows, but quite a few people on this board, have had great success with external oveflows. Good Luck, and have fun with it. It's a great hobby.

![]() No Rona or HomeDepot in these parts unfortunately. Lets hope Canadian tire has what I seek!
Thanks for the info. I am wishing I ordered a reef ready tank, I would have had I have known I was going salt. When I purchased the tank in June I was planning on a Discus set up. One thing lead to another and got roped into the salt side. Ohwell. Gonna make it work! |

![]() The upside with your overflow is...if you move up or down in tank size...you always have your overflow
I have used them for more than 20 years...and still use one...on a 72 bow Set it upthe way you would even if it was buit in....with your sump...even if power go's out they are self priming.....they work great |

![]() Thanks. I hope I have enough flow.
I've got two 1400gph Powerheads in the tank now. It's a 6 foot 125. Two lonely little chromis and some snail/crab stragglers. |
