Cool, sounds good, thanks alot Len. Have a great New Year. :D

Are there any you would recomend? Man, you beat me to the punch every time. :lol:

Posted by Len "Basically, you just need an overflow that can handle the flow of your return pump. So if the overflow is rated for 600gph, you need a return pump with less then 600gph at the output (you need to estimate head pressure loss from bends and height). Good thing is you can always...

Man, I type slow. :lol: No, I have not bought the tank yet and yes I understand the use of gravity in an overflow system. But like I said, I'm not sure of the other "things" about them. How hard would it be to drill the tank, or is it just easier to get one with it already? Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the idea, I will have to look into a reef-ready tank. With the pump idea, the thought you had was what I was thinking and was like, “that wouldn’t work right”. Just to clarify some thing, this is not my first tank, I have done FW for over 12 years and have had my current 55...

Yes, Happy New Year, Every One!!!

Well, I will not be using any 90s or 45s, it will be all soft lines going up and down, to help with flow. As for the height, it is about 4 feet top to bottom and vise versa. The return will finish with a single, very free flowing spray bar at the top of the tank. As for the diameter, I am not...

Hello All, O.K. So I have decided to go with the 120 gallon tank for my upcoming “super reef”. But now I have some questions about filtration/water flow. I plan to use a rubber made sump/refuge below the main tank. So my first idea was to get two large pumps (600gph-1200gph), one pulling water...

WOW! That tank looks great, it is by far one of the most unique and coolest looking tanks I have ever seen. Keep up the good work and give us some more pics if you have them. :D

Wow, that's a great looking tank! Thanks for the tips. Any one else out there?

Very good points. The main view is from the front, but the sides can be seen as well and I like the idea of how the fish would swim. I can't wait until I get it and I will be sure get some pics. Thanks again. Any one else got some ideas or advise?

No problem, have a great holiday! :D

Yeah, really any kind of grease or vasaline would work. This would even work well with MHs, not sure about fluorescents though because of the fixture they use. If you do use it and the bulbs don't turn on, you probably have too much on the pins and they can not make a good connection, so just...

Try to do this the next time you replace the bulbs, put a little bit of grease on the pins, gaskets/o-rings, and the plastic part. This will help keep moister/salt out of the fixture and make pulling the bulbs out a lot easier next time. Just be sure not to put too much, because you will have a...

I agree with every one, great aquascaping. I can't wait to see more updates. :D
