I won't help directly but I can supply a name and number for a good taper/mudder who is reliable and does excellent work for what I've found to be one of the cheapest.

thanks!!

wait until you hear what i have lined up for equipment for this build

been working with proline(albert) on this and we have come to a consensus on two pieces of equipment so far.

first is the lighting, i knew it was LED's right the the start but just could not make up my mind on which unit!


my first option was to go with 16 ecotech radions but albert really step up and give me a deal i could not pass up on getting 4 of the Vertex Illumina 260 6 footers. i think over all i will be happy with this chose i hope
not my picture but still nice!! i was told wait time's to build the 4 units will be 6 weeks, it will be fitted with the red led's as will as the new VU led's that they just released



skimmer will be two of these bad boys
super marine 300

and two if these new self cleaning heads from vertex



now the hunt is on for founding some DC pumps's


thanks dave

ya i did some research into those, turns out they are almost the same pump that red dragon ii pumps

from what i gather they really was not designed for salt water use as people started having problems with them after a couple months of use.

i may get a couple to try out but really didn't want to use something knowing it has a high failure rate


thanks dave

Nice choice Dave. Of course anything but LEDs for the size of tank your setting up will kill you in electricity and hmuididty in the summer.
I vouch for the 260 6 footer as i am running this baby at about 60-70%. Do not have the red led module on it though. Albert told me about that self cleaning skimmer cup too, man the silly things we like to mod our tanks with....I want one too!!!
