Default Starting 2-tier Shrimp Tank

Hi,

Finally managed to settle down and setup another CRS setup.

Tank: 2 tier, 4X2X1.5(H) with top tank overflow to lower tank, side outlet port to 2ft sump tank. Total volume = 380 litres. I was kind of losing touch fro a while therefore have a couple of questions here need all "Shifu" to help to recommend.

- Pump: Will an Ehiem universal 1262 be sufficient or do I need 1264?
- Soil: Use Benabachi, Mosura soil or others to maintain ph 6.3-6.5?
- Chiller: Budget $1K any brand/size to recommend?

Thanks in advance for all advise given, big or small will be very much appreciated. Happy Shrimp Keeping to all.

Hailea Chiller 1/4HP tank volume from 100-800L, flowrate needed for it is 1000-2500LPH.

Hailea Chiller 1/2HP tank volume from 200-1200L, flowrate needed for it is 1200-3000LPH.

Wat I think is best to get 1/2HP chiller, ehiem 1260 should be enough as its 2400LPH.

As for soil is up to individual preferences.
