I got me a Vertex in 250 this winter and I'm liking it. Only ever tried a SRO2000INT before this one, so not a lot of experience.
I wish the water adjustment was a gate valve like the SRO instead of that miter cut on the pipe.

I have that diablo 8" with dc pump works great skims great ramp up ramp down so controlable micro fine bubbles and none in the out flow

That is the sexiest thing i've ever seen. It's a shame it costs as much as a good used car. lol.

Ok fms i was talking to my local glass company about getting glass. Diamond edge I have dealt with him on small pieces of glass a d he always coming through for me. So instead of going to Winnipeg where I get my glass im goi g to try him and see what price he can get me. The good thing is he will bri g it over and build it for me in my basement. Excellent guy too so we got to chatting and then he told me about a 10 footer he did. yup that is what my Brain did. I was all smiles. So he is going to price me out a 10x2x2. Or 120x24x24 omg hmmmm i could have semserious problems then.

1. How many MITRAS would i need to light this i have one now.
2. I thought a out 1/2" with some bracing obvious
3. Thought about 20" high too.
4 return pump i was thinking of a d.c 10,000
5. For circulation it would be PVC wrapping around the top with sections every 24" and powered by a good flow pump like a waveline pump i think
