PS

I found when my system was brand new with no slime on anything, the overflow was noisy due to surface tension
I ran my finger across the top lip of the box and most of the noise went away

I haven't even thought about it since as it's super quiet

So for flow in this new tank I got
2 vortech mp10s on each end wave mode, seems to be doing ok but may need more flow in some spots wife approved of another/more powerbeads so before she changes her mind...

Im thinking of adding either

1-2 wp25's one on each end putting each mp10s on back wall

1wp40 and ramp it down

what u guys think?

Regarding the photo of your shelf bracket light hangers. First, I think that's a great idea. Second, the brackets do not appear to be perfectly centered on your tank. It looks like they are shifted to the left. This is either a trick caused by the angle the picture was taken from, or they really are slightly off centre. I understand that if they are off it has no practical consequence as you will hang your lights from a bar which is supported by the brackets. It's just my OCD that cringes! If it doesn't bother you, Im happy for you! It means that you are free from feeling anxious if meaningless things don't line up as they are "supposed to".

Yea they are off a bit the studs arnt lines up... Grrr but I'm planning ok puttin a bar across them and hanging the lights from a bar so it looks more even, it looks better in person than in the pic it looks more off lol but don't have to many options cause I wanted to hit a stud with the bars
