thanks Casey,
i am hoping ot get the stand done today and a water test, i think the mag 12 will be too much for it, so i will have pick up a new return pump. so far the cost is 4.99$ but i have not gotten the lighting or pump yet.

I'd say the 5, but that's just me.
What type of light are you planning on?
*edit: Nevermind, I just read PC on the first page.

Ditto on the Mag 5! I found out the hard way (3 pumps later), that you'll need more flow than you'd think.
My suggestion is, if you have a Mag 5 already on one of your other tanks...hook it up first to test it before buying a new one. The Mag 5 on mine still might not be enough!
