Tank Upgrade Questions

[c_man7]

Planning on upgrading my current tank in the near future.

My current tank is a 33 gallon long 48x12x12, I love the tank but with the long shallow height and depth it has. It's so hard to get good flow.

Using a jeabo slw-20 on one side and the return and hydor nano powerhead on the other end the the center 1/3 of the tank has the gross film on top and little to no flow. I've tried upgrading my wavemakers but then i get sand kicked up and the corals close to that side get slammed for me to reach the center.

 

Anyway, Im planning on upgrading to a seapora series 48 rimless, 36x18x18, Planning on drilling and installing the Marine depot elite Med overflow. Sump will be an ice cap 30 30x16x16. 

I know its not a very big upgrade, but an upgrade none the less.

 

Equipment I have a few questions,

Protein Skimmer, I'm looking at either Bubble Magus Curve 5 or AquaMaxx FC-80

Wavemaker, Either an icecap 1k or the Reef breeders RP-M

Return pump Jebao DCP-4000

Heater Finnex titanium heater w/ controller

ato reefbreeders prism ato

viparspectra 300w 32" led

 

Stocking.

Pair of Mocha davinci clowns

Yellow watchman goby w/ candy cane pistol

Tailspot blenny

Cleaner shrimp

Various clean up.

 

May move my azure damsel over

Then plan on a royal gramma and flasher wrasse

For about 6-7 fish total

 

Questions which skimmer and wavemaker should I go with and does my stocking look good?

I plan to use all my rock from my current tank as well as getting a few more pounds. As far as sand, I will get all new sand but should I take a few scoops and to help seed the new sand?
