Sorry I meant 1/2" pipe.

I used 1" because that was recommended to me, and it works, but Im not worried about head pressure because I throttle back my pump anyways.

Oh my Ed, that is simply gorgeous ! Nemo is very healthy and happy and waiting to go home. He is an incredible fish, and we will probably replace him.

Did I mention he's totally hosting a GSP rock.........:lol: :razz: You may have to take that too !!

Another option is the WavySea unit. Those really cut out on your dead spots.

Thanks Deb, and thanks for taking good care of Nemo. The rest of house has turned out great too and so I am finally getting the tank started. I hope to get the sump ordered in the next week or two and then get circulation started and hopefully Nemo can come home soon. And if 6 foot of tank isn't enough for 3 clownfish I'm not sure what I will do!

And thanks all for the suggestions. I'm working on details now and will follow up on your product recommendations. I'll be posting more pictures and more questions as I make progress.
