Rick, Nice job, looks awesome - just an observation - are you 100% comfortable with the power test - I could be wrong, but it seeems like the return is prettty far down and the siphon might be too much - just trying to help you avert disaster not making any commentary - looks awesome. Great job. House

I think you'll find lots of snails and fish in your overflow box and sump..

the drain is 1/2 below overflow..ive shut power down and i have about 10g extra i could hold in sump. as well as 5g more in bottom of stand. built it with a bottom and sealed it. i can run is full wide open or 3/4 open and run return same way. so i figure i can run between 400 gph to around 750. really not much noise. the duraso style help's alot. cross it is a GC tank. as for snails going in over flow thats fine, they wont go up tube, it has a screen on it.. i still got to tinker with it all, just fired lights up, and thinking of getting the 11k's or the 22k's for more bluish tint
