Shoot me a PM with your number. I may be able to stop by tomorrow after work. You're not far from the tunnel, so it would be an easy trip home after rush hour!

Sent PM! Thanks man

Some pics of the tank and the sump!

I'll talk to you tomorrow about it, but if you're looking to go reef, you'll want to ditch the bioballs.

Agreed man, was thinking FOWLR for this tank. Think the wet/dry will be temporary until I can get my hands on a well priced sump!

Awesome man, do you think the wet/dry is large enough?

The dimensions are 24" X 11" X 24"

Guys - here is an update on tank dimensions:

1) 71" Long x 21" deep x 36" High

Overflow (2) Dimensions:

2) 11.5" Wide x 36" High x 6.5" deep

With teeth that are 2" below the top of the tank...

As for the output and return drilled holes, they are both 1.75"

Any thoughts?

i like to go with the 30% rule of thumb when i do a sump/fuge.. i currently have 2 tanks one is a 40g sump for all my mechanical filtration it gets abt 60% of my overall drainage.. my other tank is a 40g breeder i use as my refugium, it gets abt 40% drainage, the fuge sits abt 8 in higher than the sump. the fuge gravity drains into the return chamber of the sump so the water coming from the fuge(rich with pods) doesnt get sucked up by the skimmer or reactors.. and gets pumped back into the tank..but i have a small room behind my tank.. depends on the room you have below the tank, either we can convert the wet/dry or we can get another tank and make a 3 compartment fuge/sump

the 1 3/4 holes are for 1in bulkheads

 

[street fish]

Thanks Motor, very very helpful

The Wet/Dry has a bunch of holes, mostly 2" with one being 1.5"... I'd assume some of these need to be plugged up?

 

[motortrendz]

1.5 in is for a 3/4 bulkhead i believe, and the 2 in is for a 1 1/4.. bulkhead, so i guess they give options

 

[street fish]

Cool - thanks man

 

[street fish]

Any advice on what and where to order plumbing would be extremely helpful!
