Yah, this is being built into a bedroom in the basement
Turning the suite downstairs into a rec room with a 7' tank in the 8' wall of the bedroom. So the tank will be veiwable from the rec room and have all the equip hiding in the bedroom. So I am not so concerned about noise and such.
I cant find becketts, its the only reason I thinking of the mazzei.
I have never seen the 14k bulbs
I currently run 10k's with actinics. Only reason I am considering 14k is because I cant figure out how to evenly light a 7' long tank with actinics!
for the sump, I am thinking to order a couple sheets of acrylic and go nuts... but we will see...
The reason I didnt go with the ampmaster 3000 for the return is because the overflow itself needs to be so huge to accomadate the gph rating.
