Design for nano gyre tank

[kwirky]

I think I'd run it skimmerless, as a tank that size would pretty much only need weekly water changes. I won't tap it into the sump of my 120g. Instead I'll see if I can get a completely separate system running better than my 120g.

I would put the heater along either side. Maybe two 75W heaters, one on each side. Out of sight.

As for a stand, I have a simple steel stand I've been using for the 33g tank currently. I'll probably use that because I lack in some good quality power tools. I'm also considering since it's a specially designed tank, I could leave the front completely open to show off it's unique design.

It will be lit with a 150W HQI diy pendant. PFO ballast geisseman 13k bulb. 500w halogen light fixture modded to hold the HQI bulb.

My main concerns are deciding on the pumps. I'll need about 600gph of flow each way, but it's finding a good flow pump that can be switched on and off every 15 minutes. Heard seios and nanostreams are "ok" if the switching cycle is 15 minutes or longer. The nanostreams are only about $25 more than the seios for 600gph ones and no suction cups and a better name.
