New 430G Tank

[BlueBadger]

I'll start a true build thread when I really start building the tank, so I don't have a huge delay in updates, But I have one last dillema to solve. The tank is 96"x36"x30" outside dimensions, and I can't figure out what to do for circulation. I have the following 2x tunze 6100, 2x tunze 6200, 1 x 6060, 1 dart, 1 snapper, two penductors with blueline 200, and a om 4-way. If this was your tank what would you do, and were would you place the overflow. This tank will have sand and is an SPS tank.....

I think that the placement of the overflow and everything else will depend on where the tank is placed and how many sides are viewable.

This is what I did. Our tanks are exactly the same dimensions other than mine is 28"H...brilliant minds must think alike!!

I ran 4 Sea Swirls off of my return pump and have a loop about 8-10" off the bottom powered by a seperate pump. If I did it again I might split the loop into half into the lower section of the tank and the other half to a couple Sea Swirls. That way I wouldn't have to pull so much volume through my sump. The reason I went this route is that I do not like powerheads in my displays. They just aren't visually appealing to me. I left my rockwork very open so I could get alot of mov't in the tank but may still need more down the road. Overall I have a fair amount of current through all levels of the tank.
Here's a pic of the plumbing on the back side.

It will only be viewable from the front, and built in the wall just like Tom's
