What Powerhead/s For 150G Tank Plus Other Equipment?

[simonas]

My FOWLR is now going to happen, its 60x30x30"

what powerhead/s should I get?

the tank has an external which has very strong flow now should I still use this?

what skimmers should I use and would a skimmer be necessary if its fish only?

cheers Simon

Woo hoo, a new tank to watch If you are having live rock then the external isnt needed, as I am sure you know, however there are some advantages to running one, for example running phosphate remover in it if you havent got a skimmer that can accomodate it. IMO any large tank should run a skimmer

as I;m not going to be able to afford all the live rock in one go should I run the filter till all the rock is in, it may take 8 weeks for example for me to get all the rock

I;d love to be able to get rid of the external as its a squeeze where it is situated and the pipes make a small gap that may cause issues with the moray when I get it

If you are not having live stock until you have all your live rock, then i wouldnt bother with the external
