So i have this overflow box its 3 sided i need to cut one of the sides with the teeth off so i can place this in the corner of my tank i did the measurements and it should be more then fine..
each side is 6" each so the 2 sides will be 12 inches of area..

You gonna love your PS3 pump. It's not just small, but super, super quite. I don't see many people using poseidon pumps thou, I wonder why.

Good luck with your build and keep the updates coming.

What did u use for ur overflow box and what did u use to cut out the slits ??

i got my PS3 pump used
it the best pump i have ever hade other than it rases your water temp a lil
lots of power for its size

I need some help with what height to mount my overflow box..
Its 2 sided 6" inch each side its going to be mounted in the corner of the tank.
The box is 6" high the teeth cut are 1" and a bit deep ...

At what height do i mount it right to the top rim of the glass or a little lower ?

Quick update before the weekend! Everything i need is in stock and ready to go it can't be at a better time either i am off work till December 4th so i have plenty of time to setup and tinker with the new build.

So far couldn't be happier with how things are going, i am in the process of thinking up a new skimmer looking at the Vertex Cone 170 or the Super reef xp2000 also i am looking at putting a controller into the system but that's a little more further down the road.

But come Monday afternoon build starts dry fit all the plumbing, mount the lights, level the stand and so on.

Wow no work until the 4th and you have everything needed to start? You sir are the definition of lucky! Looks really good already...is the orange a primer?

Yes yes benefits of working shift work and having 2 years of vacation banked lol i have to use something like 46 days of vacation but when i book 4 days off if i plan it right i am off for just about 2 weeks so the time goes a long way.

the orange is actually more like a peachy color my parents put together i think we had mass amounts of paint left over from the house they mixed it all and they painted the whole basement haha i think they were bored that weekend.

Haha they just mixed their leftover paints? Let me just say I like the blue =) So you're going to spilling copious amounts of salty water and skimmate all over mom and dad's basement? Do they know yet lol?

yah i went up north one weekend came back and the basement was painted some random color lol.. Oh ya they know about it all i got my 65 running in the kitchen right now.

They actually wanted me to put the new tank in the hallway upstairs but I'm not totally sure on the structure of the floor so its safest in the basement.
Also i am going to be buying a house of my own in 2010 summer I'm 26 time to get out just saving for the largest down payment.
