My 55 has the same size overflow so I would think the flow would be the same. I have a Mag 9.5 with a gate valve after it in case I needed to cut the flow, but it runs wide open. I have heard that Oceanic's 58 has a glass center brace, do you know if thats true? If so, I might get away with a single MH because the glass wouldn't cast a shadow (or melt!). Then again, the cost of an Oceanic tank might be more than a second pendant. I saw my LFS had an AGA 65 for $179. He would have to special order the Oceanic. I don't know what those run. So, is that power center like a power strip with individual on/off switches?
Finally!. My 65 Gallon build.

Hello Big Kahuna!. Is the 65 Gal AGA a mega overflow?. If so.. $179 is a great deal, i payed around $245 for mine. I've owned a 58Gal Oceanic before and I don't notice much difference between this tank and the Oceanic. The Power center Is much like a power strip. It has a 15Amp resettable breaker and light up rocker switches. I have it plugged into a GFCI so my setup is pretty well protected. I really like the Power center. It makes turning on and off lights, pumps etc etc a lot easier and a lot more organized. I would def recommend it. Heres the cheapest i could find - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/American-DJ-PC100A-8Switch-ONOFF-Power-Center?sku=801020
BTW. I already ordered a Eheim 1250(320GPH). I figured slow flow through the sump = more reaction time with Skimmer and fuge + the Tunze's will provide the flow in the display.
Yeah, I thought that was a real low price too. It was cheaper than my 55 cost 3 years ago. The guys that work there know what they are doing so I don't think it's a case of being uninformed like a Petco worker or something. If I had the dough I'd pick it up right now and hide it in the garage (apparently the wife thinks the kids should be clothed and fed first). That seems like a good deal on that power center. Do have timers on your lights? If so, I guess the timer would have to go in between the strip and the lights. I have those Coralife powerstrips with the built in timers which make life easy. I suppose THAT strip could be plugged into the power center. Hey! I just noticed you are in Monterey. I love it there. I grew up in Santa Rosa, CA and made trips down there all the time. I took my wife to the Aquarium a few years back and she was blow away. Keep up the fine work.

:lol: . "apparently the wife thinks the kids should be clothed and fed first." Sounds about right, I have a little one my self so i know what you mean
. Anyways I do not have timers on the power center. I'd say there is about 1 inch between outlets on the back. So im in search of some compact electronic timers. I've been to Santa Rosa twice and i love the area!.

Backpacking doesn’t sound so bad. There is 1 foot of snow on the ground over here
