Herbies all the way, it's nice to be able to watch tv at a low volume when your tank is right next to it and be able to hear clearly. I would highly recommend it!

Couldn't agree more.

This tank looks nice! I can't wait to see this build's progress.

A single drain over flow will also run quiet if it's set up properly. Mine is virtually silent.

I thought herbie was more based on dual drain safety.

Nice set up Subman. Looking forward to seeing more.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Awesome Jason!! I hope you'll also post pics of the skirt once it's built. I need to do one for my tank but would love to see some done before I attempt mine.

Will do I had the idea in my head for a while now but when I read through reefgirl189's build it came to life hers looks beautiful and is exactly what I wanted to do! Take a read through her build.

Here is some details on the tank it's extra beefy and heavy!!! (looking for strong volunteers!!)

The tank is 5/8" glass for the sides and 3/4" bottom, eurobraced and black silicone all around. The returns are. two 3/4" and the two drains are 1 1/2".

Whats everyone's opinion on some of my equipment?

Is my bk mini 180 enough skimmer?

3 mp10's?

what return pump?

Not that I have had a tank of that size, but I cant see the mp10's doing much especially with the length of your tank. If your gunna do vortechs I would say mp40 atleast if not mp60.

Yeah, I've got to agree with this. I've got about 12,000 GPH in my 225 and I may be adding some more. Can't have enough flow IMO
