ok its not quite done yet but ive made some progress...the skimmer still needs to be made which will seperate the 1st and 2nd chamber. I am still pondering on the idea of adding another 500 gph pump with outlets in a Y in the middle back which would bring the flow to about 1100-1200gph

Any questions and/or comments about the design? What should I keep in this tank? I am thinking a back wall of rock and a cave in the middle. What types of corals should I keep uder +/-220watts of vho?? What types of fish would you suggest be put in a tank of this size??

jeff- there is no sump because of the lack of space and I think it looks cleaner like this...I was going to get the JBJ but all the cracks scared me away. What other filtration should I add in the back? The fuge is out the door becuase I believe it will be a waste of space. Carbon? Filterpad? Thanks for looking and for the help

just keep up with your water changes and you should be golden.

thestrminmormon · 07-07-2005, 07:29 PM

would you suggest putting the pump that puts out 500gph in the back? It will be coming out of a 1/2" 90degree L what will be on the surface.

ok!!!!just bought a seio 620 so that should be enough flow....the cheapo 500pgh pump is going onto the skimmer...been working a lot lately but pics should be on soon...Where would yall suggest me putting the new seio? front right corner pointing towrds the back left corner sound ok?

looks like a great setup, you do nice work.

Carbon in the filter and water changes are probably adequate, depending on what you want to stock with, and your options are pretty open with such good lighting

disaster struck...when I was filling the tank I was in a hurry and lets just say the floor got a nice bath. Im planning on resealing the front seam(the one that broke) with weldon 16 combined with the weldon 4 to make sure there is a good bond. I will also put silicone on the seam to try to absorb some of the pressure so it is not directly on the seam. Wish me luck

rethinking the lighting situation....should i go with a hanging system or a canopy?
