I would try to do bigger water changes if you can. This way you aren't wasting as much salt and I think it'll be better for your system in the long run.

This is a really good deal. I have an oceans motions set up and it works flawlessly. I've run it non stop for over 2 years now with no problems and I bought it used. Good product.

I'm not sure, maybe 2500 gallons? It's 17' x 33' x 24" deep but there is a ton of rock displacement and a few shelves. So it's very hard to guess or calculate the volume. They are japanese pumps I...

I think that we are away on the tank tour weekend. And besides, my tank looks like junk, still full of Cyano. We'll show off our pond once it's planted next year. :)

Cut out the existing overflow, then clean up the edges really well (razor blade, wire brush etc). Then silicone the overflow into it's new location. It is just tedious and time consuming.
