That beckett will skim better with the Mak 5. No problems with the Mag 18 on that overflow? Using both as overflows or just the 1in? I would have thought it would be to much flow for it.

I have it throttled back a bit and the overflow handles it with no problems, and I could run it fully open but the flow out of the overflow is to fast and misses my refugium

i see that some ones likes my tank and skimmer. looks good Buddy glas your happy with the set up. oh by the way I found the straight piece of pvc for the union and the pump i found to give it to you my bad.

i would run the mak 5 and have it teed off to a return pump, i might be in the market for a mag 18 too .


btw i like what u did to the doors on the front is that door on the side still still to open.

Nice transfer! Funny, I am the middle of the exact same thing. Transfer from a 33 to a 65. I am only using one 400w MH, and I am going to cut out the plastic brace and install euro bracing. Will be a fun comparison! You're using a lot more rock than I am going to, and we have different corals too. I have a perdy rad and green open brain like you though. Haha!
