Thanks linesider I'll take you up on that but I estimate a month or two.

I'm taking my time. While I love lots of mannys ideas, I have my own.

This isn't the first time I do this and always do the same. Sit back look at it, plan, sit back, plan. Once I'm ready it will come together NICE!

nice cleaning
as far as the overflow its a GREAT idea- since the tank does not have a safety overflow I would consider Matt's idea.
ENjoy my friend

Thanks Rog- You being THE GODFATHER, all I need is advice in setting up, LOL

It did, but im stubborn. I like things my way.

 

[Siptang]

You just made my day!! Im glad you agree.

I plan on cutting the overflow and use a piece of the same glass to cover the holes (overflow and return) with plenty of silicone. Then add the coast to coast overflow (or whatever its called). I think this tank deserves more than ONE 1.5" overflow. Especially with the kind of flow I like.

The return: I haven't decided but very likely do like Roggers and just return over the top.

I will also be building a canopy.

Plumbing will have few changes. I will plug chiller plumbing since I dont use. I copied your plumbing for my current tank and will continue eliminating ALL power heads in sump by T ING off the return line. (for those that dont know this routine; you can T off your return with CPVC with separate flow valves and use for reactors, UV, frag tank, etc... NO POWERHEADS). This eliminates the need to maintain those added gadgets and also decreases heat being pumped into sump!!

EL PRESIDENTES Tank will be so cool corals and fish will come through the sewers and jump in it!!!!!

 

[AquamanE]

Bobby the Builder!!!!!

Canopy being built. We made it up as we went along.
