I rather have more water movement in the tank then the system.If you going to run a big pump then your sump should be real big

My sump will be 5' x 30" x 20"

2,000 GPH would be the most I would put thru this size overflow, you need a little safety margin in there.

	RODI High quality filtration systems used to purify tap water before it is mixed with salt or added to the aquarium for evaporative top off. Most municipal water supplies contain unacceptable levels of Nitrate, Phosphate, Lead, Chlorine, Copper etc. It is critical that these impurities are removed as some are toxic to reef organisms and others fuel algal blooms that can quickly overtake a reef display. Again, there are many brands and many configurations to fit most applications.

	VHO Very High Output Fluorescent Lighting - Fluorescent bulbs that run on special ballasts and have an output that is significantly higher than normal tubes. It is very possible to run an entire reef system on VHO lighting providing the proper number of bulbs and mixture of spectrums are chosen. For most hobbyists, these tubes are used in conjunction with Metal Halide lighting for simulating dawn and dusk. They often provide the "bluer" end of the light spectrum and thus a more aesthetically appealing display.

dave just lmk when your ready. also i dont think you can run that much flow through the wavy sea's. and thats alot of return flow, making the flow though your sump awful fast for it to really to be getting the benifit's. also once it's switched you going to use the black tub for a dsb ?

Ok that's a Lot of work. I'll sleep over Saturday night to Sunday to help, Are you going to need any 1 inch I still have about 5ft rigid and 5ft flex also Dont buy the clear primer I've got more than enough of that... Get the Basement bed ready. Ah man all that glue.
