andestang Kevin, looking really good. Are you planning on using any powerheads in it? BB or sand bed ?
**I havn't determined on the powerheads yet, It will definitely be coarse sand bed.
StirCrazy how are you going to handle water flow in that tank, seeing as you are putting a strip of rock down the middle you have the opertunity to use some mass water flow principles, allowing you to creats massive water flow with minimal pumps.
** I will be running a Sequence Dart or Hammerhead for the return pump. It will be plumbed up the overflow hidden in the wall and run across the inside of the top canopy with 1.5" tube. At 6 or 8 different points on this tube we will have it split to 3/4" loc-line with the majority of the pressure going to the front end. This will skim the top surface and keep enough disturbance in the water to suspend debris to be pushed into the overflow.
Thanks all for your interest and the kind words.
Kevin
