Wow Greg, what a tank. I can't wait to see it in person and with the cubes. It looks like all that planning and hardwork is paying off. Your gonna have one of the nicest tanks in Alberta. Its gonna put the last 300 tank i saw to shame. It would make a great backdrop to a red deer and area reefers meeting.

I do appreciate your thoughts and efforts here Steve but taking out the baffles, cutting them down & adding a back passage channel is not an option at this point. I am going to wait to do anything else until I can get all the pumps running to see what the difference might be.

I think the easiest way of balancing the 2 return side would be just a 1" pipe to join them. I can test this by using the 2 holes for the middle pumps on both ends with a few fitting and a piece of hose. Update on this to come.

Should have my order of some Profilux products tomorrow if Fedex tracking is correct.

Also have been thinking of doing a power linear lift actuator to be able to adjust my lighting up or down by remote control

The word geek is a slang term originally used to describe odd or non-mainstream people, with different connotations ranging from "an expert or enthusiast" to "a person heavily interested in a hobby", with a general pejorative meaning of "a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp[ecially] one who is perceived to be overly intellectual".[
But yah techie is applicable too
