So roberto sent me a large package a few weeks ago. He even sent me an expansion module in a second shipment - hahaha. I am all set to go with my tank now and have started to build things.

SET-UP:

180 gallon Perfecto Tank - Dual Overflow - 72" x 24" x 24"
40 gallon sump
10 gallon refugium
10 gallon ATO Tank
Precision Marine CA Reactor
Reef Octopus XL2000 Skimmer

This is as far as I got with equipment. What I want to do is match lighting and return pump with the RA.

What is the best lighting system to match with the RA? No DIY as this is in the middle of the kitchen and will be very visible. I want to go LED or LED-T5 combo. Budget is < $1000 but for the right unit I am willing to go max $1500.

Best DC return pump to match with RA? Budget is < $200.

Any advice with Make and Models will be greatly appreciated.

Kessil are nice. I think you would need 3 or 4 though
There is only really one kind of DC pump. They are basically all the same with different names... lol Jebao, Speedwave, Diablo and so on. But for the size of your tank, I'd go with the DC12000.

Any good sites for the DC12000?

I think they just came to the market.
There is no USA reseller with those yet AFAIK.

Thanks Roberto

What lights other than Kessil will work for me. Those are nice if I actually did not have to pay my mortgage every month.

Yeah
I've heard Apollo works nice too.
There are a few people here that use them.

Pump on the way.

Does this mean I need to get a cable from you? You got those in stock?

Yeah, I have them in stock

BuildmyLED.com is a nice one too
