red sea 250

I bought pretty much everything at Red Coral, they can do it all.

You could also check the classifieds there are some really good deals that come up once and a while.

i was thinking of using them, out of all the stores i went to yesterday, they seemed really interested in helping me get started and taking the time to talk to me, big al's and pisces not so much.

+1 for red coral

i had a chat with the owner of red coral today and he really got me thinking, there are way more variables than i originally thought... im gonna have to draw up plans for what i want exactly, and they are willing to help me build the whole system, im sure theres a fee involved, but this way im sure its done right :P don't need 100 gallons spilling on my floor haha

Yup, nothing worse than 100 gallons spilling on the floor. Draw up your plans and you can also get lots of feedback from ppl here if you want.

Good luck

im a little curious about putting the sump intake on the exterior of the tank on the back, is this noisy, and for a tank with the dimentions of 36w x 24d x 24h how big of a sump intake should i have. how noisy are the exterior ones vs interior ones?

if you a setting up a herbie over flow the noise should be minimal with either setup, the only down fall i see with external overflows is the tank can't set flush with the wall but atleast you won't lose valume from the tank
