hey strgazr thanks i copied your design except i added one more baffle my next question id right now i have a triton 5 running my tank but im using vinyl tubing with no elbows the new set up im going with pvc with a total of 3 elbows and about 5 feet from pump to end right now i have the pump dialed down a little bit just wondering if that pump will work im thinking of going with a mag 18 and dialing that down if needed

I'm thinking you should be OK with the 5. I have gotten so may different opinions on the Triton pumps. I will be running one when I setup mine. I have heard that the Mags can add a bit of heat to the system so that may be worth looking into. The way I see it, better to have to dial back than not have enough. I would try it with the 5 before spending the money IIWM....
