Not sure yet how I want to rig the system up. Gonna go internal and forgo popping a hole in my sump. It's seen better days, and I don't wanna go there. Not sure on how much flow those drains can handle. I'd like to use an OR 6500, but that'd be pushing them to their limits. I may go something along the lines of the OR 3500 and just beef up the flow inside the tank.
I think I'll try the 6500, and just dial it down if need be. Gonna pick up another lumenarc for it tomorrow, and go pick up some lumber to build the stand. I'm exited. My wife, not so much!
Jeremy, I have a couple mags laying around, a 9.5 and a 5; I think.
I was coming over to this thread to see where you were headed today Jim. I am expecting visitors around 1-2 today, but I was thinking about makind a run to exotic this am. See you guys later.

Hey, Jim, how did you mount/plumb in your manifold up under the tank? It's hard to see in the pics you've posted. Can you snap a shot looking up under at the manifold and post? Also how many devices are you running off the manifold? it seems like your 2 reactors, plus calcium reactor, plus return from sump?

Thanks guys!!
It takes a little extra time to get the plumbing done clean, but I think its worth it
Gotta do all my cords now.....
Wish you upgraded your tank before I did! Could've learned a lot.

It was too bad that AL was there bidding in the auction for pieces that was set up for hobbyist and club members. I was pretty dissapointed about that. It's nothing against the guys who were there as they are great people, but I lost a lot of respect for the owners. :sad2:
