also - instead of the coast to coast why not go with a penninsula style overflow on BOTH Sides and just cut a wier into the side pieces of glass. That way the over flows are out of view COMPLETELY and easily accessible. There would be enough surface skimming. You could do a return on one side and over flow on the other as another option.
so what is this...tank 46? or 47?  |
The ikea panels will definitely NOT work with our room decor. I will be building all the door and side panels from scratch. If I do a peninsula style then I will not be able to look down the length of the tank from my lazy boy. I like to have the 3 sides to view what is going on in there.
And no this will still only make 3 running, this one is replacing the 165 gal because the tangs are getting big and the front glass is getting all scratched up. Has not got worse since I switched to using a razor blade to clean the glass instead of one of those mag float cleaners.

I was kinda thinking that but was not sure about the wave box, might just have to go with a couple MP 40's or just one 60.
I am using a pump that will push 6500 gph but I don't know if I want to see any more PVC in my tank again. The closed loop intake in the 165 is a pain in the a$$ and look crappy to.
