Hey all, first question of many with the new build.

I've got a 65g shallow reef with approx 60-70# of rock and a 20g sump. I'm sing a Reef Octopus 110 INT.

I'm going to a 90g, upping to 90-100# rock and at least a 30g sump. Will the RO-110 do for now? I'm working on a tight budget.

I have seen on Craigslist, local to me, a DAS EX-1 external skimmer for $75 and I've got a Mag-2 I can use as a feed pump (can I even use it as a feed pump?).
Here the link to that... http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/for/5122861868.html

Is this a worthwhile investment or should I use the RO for the time being?

Any advice most appreciated,

Mark
