i have a maxi 1200 on my Remora skimmer soo im thinking maybe 100

probably not enough for most sps..
but perhaps a monti?

I plan on getting a Tunze 6060
Yeah, sure. Blame it on the finals

I think you are a little low on the remora flow estimate so round it up to 900 on the total flow and divide that by your number of gallons, 46. Don't have a caclulator handy but that should be around 19.5 times flow. You wouldn't want to fill the tank with acros but you could add a couple SPS in the right areas.
