One suggestion, is there any way you can get the flow deflectors under the braces? So they dont mess with your light?

Ohh, okay. Sweet. I was just thinking it would cut out light. Looks like a solid build though. Which reef octopus is that? |

not sure i'm still making water but i did fill the sump to check if my pump would have enough pressure to operate the deflectors they did work even though my pump is not big enough to handle them so now i'm looking for a new pump.

Ehiem. Im using the 1260, and I LOVE it. That should be enough. I use it for a bunch of things. I pump water from my garage to my tank.....30ish feet away. Works great, it should have enough head to push those. |

Im not familiar with the external pumps. Ive never had a tank big enough to need one. That looks solid though. Ive never heard any bad about the panworld series pumps. That would blast water through those hydors. |
