Hey everyone
For years i had a saltwater tank that recently i decided to take a break from. I sold all the corals and cleaned the tank up. I now have a cleaned 120 (48x24x24) with a 30gal sump tank underneath that i want to start up as a malawi tank. My question is all the extra equipment i had for the saltwater tank like protein skimmer and 2 phosban reactors (one was for charcoal other was for a nitrate media) can they be used to any advantage with a malawi setup or would it just be overkill? Also the main sump pump will pump about 1000 g/hr, is this to big of a main pump for a malawi tank? Inside the main tank i also had a small maxijet powerhead and a koralia powerhead (1200g/hr) for circulation. The corals loved this but would using the powerheads in a malawi tank be too much circulation?
Any opinions appreciated
Thanks
