Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / June 2004pump suggestions & fish compatibility
I need a good pump for sump return for a new 180g FOWLR. The tank is not set up yet but I'd like to get all the pieces before making the change from the 60g. I'm currently using a mag7 for return on the 60g. The old tank will be my new sump. As for the fish I currently have a dogface puffer, harlequin tusk, 2 damsels, a hippo tang, & a large angel. I have tried to add a pair of maroon clowns before but the puffer wants to nip at their fins. Do you think they would be okay in a tank 3x the size? I really want to dismantle the holding tank they are in now & combine the 2 tanks. TIA, Steve For a pump I would suggest a mag-12 or mag-24. The puffers are just nasty little fish. He probably will not allow a new fish in his territory without killing it even with a 180. -- reefman MC Thanks for the pump recommendation. I was thinking, since the old 60g will be my new sump - I could move the clowns in the main tank for a few months so that they get established that way by the time the others are moved in the clowns will "own" the new tank. Any ideas on how well that might work? Steve > For a pump I would suggest a mag-12 or mag-24. The puffers are just > nasty little fish.

A blueline would be good, or a Velocity if heating is not an issue. > I need a good pump for sump return for a new 180g FOWLR.
