Paul, What system did you use to quiet the overflow? Durso? Stockman? Something you designed yourself?

I have to say that the Tunzes work great for keeping things clean.
The only rocks I have to "turkey baste" off are the ones directly under the Tunzes. The rest are always very clean, even the inaccessible places that one would think were impossible to have any flow around or through!
I only have 2-6000s with a 7095 controller in a 180, & this is plenty! I can't wait to see your tank again Paul, looking good!

Sorry...I just realized I didnt take pics of eh durso, however i did take a few pics of the tank before I do a major re-scape. One of my small pumps (maxijet) was sand stirring so once again it was a bit cloudy.
A view through the length of the tank: from left to right. The tunze is over 8 feet away.
from the right
and from the left
saturday/sunday the left side is being stripped and redone.
Paul.

LOL....
I would have to disagree...at least in principle. Its tough having an image in my head that is not reflected in my tank. For various reasons I rushed the move from one tank to the other and went for easy as opposed to what I really wanted. That was just the way it had to be.
Over the next few days I will be building arches of rock on PVC pipes. The rock will be drilled and slid on the pipes. These will interconnect with pyramids of rock to create a very open structure.
the basic idea is a cascade of rock from the corner sweeping across the tank with high and low points, caves and tunnels.
btw.......Thats a realy scarey Avatar TJ. I prefer my level of protection to yours.

Why are you going to strip it? Isn't there a good chance you will loose a bunch of corals? I always heard that it is best to plant corals where you like them and then leave them alone to grow.
