New 165g 7 footer

I vote for 1 or 2 mp40es on the back wall. More pumps of smaller size will give you more random flow than one big pump.

You can always put 2 mp40 on each side if you don't like them on the back wall. That should give you plenty of flow.

@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.

Thanks Greg.. finally got all the bits to do that! Wont have time to drill away prolly till Sunday.

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!
