Still active. Picked up a mag 9.5 for the return, and a used OM squirt 4 way. Right now i'm leaning toward plumbing the 4 return outputs in the top corners, so I dont have to worry about backsiphon in the event of a power failure.
Still trying to figure out part of the canopy. It will basically be a large box, split and hinged down the middle so the entire front portion swings up (similar to the link posted above).
So i figure 2 bulbs in the stationary portion, 2 in the moving portion.
Not quite sure how I can incorporate a splash shield. If I mount the shield near the bulbs, it would have to be split to move, and a split in the middle of the shield will allow salt vapor to reach the reflectors, which is what I want to avoid. Any ideas?
I can't see a cover on the tank working, especially with the plan for the sump return coming up over the back and being plumbed to the 4 top corners, the pipe will be in the way of a lid.
Suggestions?
