Thanks,
Yea I will be keeping the MP20, Tunze ATO, maybe a K3, and thinking about re-using the sump tank.
Will be upgrading the return pump, Ehiem probably. Still going with a BM180CS skimmer, and thinking about switching to T5 and picking up a 6x24W Sunpower. Thought about the 36" but would look a bit odd overhanging the tank I think, and the rock work in the tank will only cover a 24"x14" foot print.
I got the final go ahead from my buddy for a 33x24x17 tank size (really 32x23x15.5" water volume). It's gotta be a very "safe" build too. Which is fine, forces me to make this setup look clean and finished. Rather than an unfinished 2x4 stand.
When the time comes I will get a thread started.
