Thanks for the help.....I had thought since my bulkhead holes were 6 inch below the waterline than I would have that pressure flow down. I guess I need the actual pipe below the waterline, not just the bulkhead holes.

I understand that I will not have the waterflow that a Durso pipe that is below the water level has. What kind of flow do you think I can handle with the increased intake of 2, 2 inch pipes and a 1 1/2 inch bulkhead?? I have been thinking of drilling the bulkhead around 6 inches below water...

Thanks for your help, but I still am a little confused. If your Durso pipe is below the water surface I can understand how your tank can be drained to the level of your Durso Pipe. But, on the other hand, my pipe will be level with the surface of the aquarium so I fail to understand how it will...

Ah!! A wife that loves to spend money on aquariums and dosen't mind when I replace my old equipment with "new and improved" stuff.

I'm currently drilling the back bulkhead of my plex 180 with 2- 1 1/2 inch drains. I plan to expand to a 2 inch elbo and a 5 inch rise to the surface. I am only planning on cutting slots in the top of the PVC for water flow. Can you see any problems with this design? I plan to pump around...

The price is not important when you consider you will have the fish for years. Thanks James for your recommendations. My research also shows the fish is at home in the outer reefs.....So as the fishes health is my primary concern, I will take a pass on this fish.....

Wow !!!!!! the Vlaming's Tang really looks great.......Do you know anyone that has one?

I'm currently switching my 180 from a FO to a Reef Tank. I would like a special fish that will be reef compatible and yet get large. In particular, I would love to have a fish with a personality. Any recommendations would be appreciated...
