I am picking up a used marineland mars system up today and was wondering if anyone knew of any mods or tweaks suggested.

I have 1 in my shed, most of it anyway. Tanks are too narrow for my liking, 4'x1'x1'. I actually bought 3 and the sink area, I have sold one of the sumps, one of the pumps(Iwaki japanese md70) scrapped the stands(got $40) they were rusting at the bottom. Still trying to sell the chiller.
I opted to remove the dividers in 2 tanks, one i used in middle, other just removed altogether, this way on the one in half, i can do a bean overflow on each side :)
They are pretty heavy tanks was thinking of using 1 for a sump. When I scrapped the stands I removed the aluminum channel from each or the flip doors to use later for a diy LED build, mine had 2 stage filter (big ones) that i want to use with my hokey ro/di
 
check here Peter uses 2 i think, one for fish QT and the other coral QT.

Didnt add link but zimboys got it. ; )
 
I wouldn't have many suggestions either way, but I feel it would be helpful if we knoew what you wanted to do with it. It's a little hard to recommend mods if we don't know what you are keeping and why.
