@Ultra, yes they are MP40es and I agree... get another to work together


Everything makes sense and I appreciate the input


OK... NEW QUESTION on cutting GLASS
What I have just noticed though is the sump is too high for me to take the skimmer cup out and would like to cut the glass lover for that compartment by about 3". The glass is 1cm thick. Any ideas? Just etch and tap out? This is outside my comfort zone, but I want to be able to clean my skimmer regularly.

Drill 2 holes for the lower corners then cut the rest with a dremel & diamond saw bit. At least that's how I do it Steve.

Starting the plumbing... tank is 3/4 full at proper salinity.. lots of water and salt mix ready once everythings in place.

Then to clean and sell that beautiful 75g one piece euro that Concept made for me just over a year ago... Sad to see it go, but there's no way I can take time to care for two tanks!
