This is a very bad filter to buy very cheap made and very hard to prime I bought and returned it believe me it not worth it just another junk from china

No not at all.. the more filtration = healthier tank. .. I started with the over hang filters the aqua clear 110.. great fiters. I used 2 in my 120 GL. . you will like this filter . Just be careful with cleaning it. I broke part of the In take tube and I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts

The 750 is a good size for your tank. I have the 1150 for a 75. The key is the position. Experiment with a few to see what your fish like.

the lowest setting is fine for my 15 gallon tall. I have 5 galaxy barbs, two albino cories cats, two amino shrimps, an otto catfish and a shit load of snails(Note: a bunch of moss cover my intake tube from time to time). But it depends on the fish you plan to get too. do your fish come from a place with fast moving water or slow? Since you already have a spare C4 and a tank just try it out. worse case you return the fish back.

Could definitely keep up. I would recommend however to get a small reserve tank of about 10gallons with a recirc pump. Basically you get hot water direct from tank and them takagi refills IIT as you go. Very economical without having variations or time delay in water temp. I'm doing 2 of these in line this way for a 4000sq ft house right now in seattle area for a customer. Good luck.

I think a 600 CFM is a little too small. Personally I would look at a 700 or 750 CFM.

I have the 1500 and the actual flow rate is 360 gal per hour if the info on the box is correct. I notice that as the filters get dirtier the rate slows down a little

Yeah man as long as your pool dies not have more than 15000 gal you should be good.

I have a 125g as well. I am running two 850 powerheads as well as a 1200 gph return pump. In my opinion the more flow the better so I would suggest at least another 850.

I would recommend finding some higher quality heater for your 300gal tank. You could find a 1000watt heater or just run 2 heaters

They are a little small for a 65 if you are going to be keeping SPS or LPS corals. If just softies, you may be good, but I would go a bit bigger unless you are putting several of the Hydros in there. Say 2 on each side and possibly 2 on the back. I know they are a bit more expressive, but if you are trying to save money go with the jabos, or if you are willing to invest, I cannot stress enough, tons tons tons better, the Vortechs. I use Vortechs 2 MP40 controlled with my apex; I know they are very expressive but they are worth every penny in comparison, especially if you have the apex controller with the wxm. This is how I have mine set up and the difference is night and day. I went from the large jabos to two Vortechs. My corals responded almost instantly. They love them. The Jabos push the water hard while the Vortechs create an undertow and are gentle so you don't blast you corals. This allows for less trash from settling on the sand bed. I can tell the most when feeding; the food never touches the sand bed, it stays floating the whole time and that is without using the feed mode. They all work different and it is to much to get into, but if you are going to build a reef tank you want to go as natural as possible and the Vortechs are the only way to go IMHO. You can sometimes find them for a good price used on ebay, and remember all ecotech equipment are able to be upgraded with a simple plug and play. 1 MP40 should do you for now and just add another later as a slave and run it at a max of 75%. If you need additional info I am happy to help.

Yea for sure I'm using one light fixture on my 90 gallon tall tank which has a similar footprint with a 40 gallon breeder. 36 inch long 18 inch wide and 32 inches tall. The light is plenty strong make sure you hang it a east 12 inches from top of the water to get good light dispersal for a three foot tank. Also takes some careful aqua scaping so you don't get any shadows on the side. Mine looks like a volcano very high in the middle and slopes down on both sides so as not creating casting almost any shadows. I run it at almost 80-90 percent and eveif I ran two I would probably not have aqua scales this way but I like the look and my coral in the bottom sandbed are getting enough light. I get ton of coralline algae on the sides of the tank so I am pretty confident the light is spreading enough. I don't have a gazillion corals so I did not see the need for more than one light and having one now I can definitely see that I can surely add more in the future without any problems. I am even having luck with sps corals so this is the real deal! You will definitely not be able to run them up that high intensity since the breeder is so much more of a shallow tank but that's good because you will be saving on electricity, also another reason I ran one light... Make sure you a climate your corals from very little light these lights are super powerful!

I have this pool and used well water, Never had a problem. Was just scared using 15000 gal. would be to much for my well

It should be fine. If you have a heavily populated tank you might consider a larger unit or be prepared to empty the collection cup more frequently. I ran mine for over a year and a half before I upgraded to a bigger tank and never had a problem with it.

You may want to go bigger. I currently have mine going up four feet with a " return line, a 13-piece section of loc line, and a tee to a small DIY reactor. It's just powerful enough, in my opinion, and I have a 90-gallon tank (with two power heads).

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

As mentioned already, the 305 may fall short as it is only rated for 75 gallons. You could add a cost effective sponge filter to the mix and stay on top off your water changes and be ok, maybe. I had 2 306's on my 75 gallon with about the same Number of small haps.

I only have a 29 gallon and my tank is loving the lights. My personal opinion is that it would be better to run two with a 60 gallon. Current is great though. You will love it!
