asmodeus,
Thanks! It sounds like overkill but the plan for this tank was actually zoos and rics. My last three tanks have been in the 30-40x's range and I have always been really pleased with higher flow (as long as the velocity is kept down). My only concern right now is that my sump is a lot smaller than I thought it was - (only 16gals total volume and I still need to leave room for drainage when the pumps are off). I am worried that my 730gph return rate is going to wreak havoc with micro bubbles...
The tank builder forgot to add the sheet of black acrylic to the back wall, but he is cutting it for me now and I will put it in myself. I figure that it should look better with the overflow not visible. I am also considering using a razor blade to clean up the silicone job in the corners. Finally, I have the overflow eggcrate off and am going to black that out as well.
- Chad
