I am in the process of setting up an in-wall 125 gallon mixed reef and would like to ask for some recommendations on which return pump and skimmer would be best. The desplay tank will have two 1 1/2 inch drains and I am building a 40 gallon sump. I appricate any input.

Thank you

    The drains can handle a lot of flow, but the 40g sump will need to be long to provide adequate travel time to eliminate microbubbles. If you want an external pump, you could get the Snapper/Dart Hybrid. It uses low power, and is upgradeable later with the extra parts you get with it.

    For a skimmer, look for something rated to skim 150 to 175g. Reef Octopus is very popular currently.
