I prefer to use waterland tubs with 1" bulkheads. I have them up on stands, and the bulheads drain into 40 gallon sumps. This way, I can more easily maintain the carbon and clean the course prefilter. I use Mag Drive pumps with a spraybar, and cycle at least 350 gph on the adults. They are solo in each tub. The males get along fine in small tubs, where the females get large ones.

Currently only the females are utilizing salt, as they are wild caughts, but my males are CB. The hatchlings are in 55 gallon tanks on a rack using either pengiun 350 power filters with 4 cartridges in each, or flufal 4i's set full blast (A LOT OF CURRENT for them). The fluvals have carbon foam in them but I am not impressed with their abilities so far other than the power of their pumps.

Thanks!

Scott
