I'm builing a new 200 gal. mixed reef tank with a 55 gal. sump and a 30 gal refugium. I want to make a good choice, but the more I read the more confused I get. Can some of you who have large systems give me your experiance. Thanks Jim

whats yor budget? If its pretty low I would look into the new octopus extreme's perhaps the 250 or 300, it has the same pumps as the bubble master and design for alot cheaper, here is one:

JL, I'm not a millionaire but I want to do right the first time. Pennywise, LBS foolish. I was looking at MRC, Deltec, Euro reef, it's a tough choice. Now I'm going to look at Bermuda, thanks Ryan!

I got a Bermuda from Jim at HOF, and it's great! I have a slightly heavy hand when it comes to feeding, and it does a great job. I hope this helps you out.

Thanks Wayne, I've been reading that thread for about 2wks. Haven't been able to find the time to finish it. That's why I asked about large tank experiance. Norrow it down some.
