didn't want to pile on the other thread, so here's one for my new tank build.

things that need to be fed water via pump:
  1. 180g display
  2. 100g sump (actual volume will be closer to 50g)
  3. 36g frag tank
  4. reef octopus pellet reactor
  5. reef octopus GFO reactor

i've currently got a Reef Octopus Water Blaster HY-7000 (1800 gph).

tank will also have powerheads.

looking for opinions on if 1800gph is sufficient for the system, or if i should get a second pump for the frag tank.

You are missing the chiller on your list.
