OMG That's so Big!

Brs doesn't sell it. You can get it at home depot in the tubing by a foot section. Call ahead though as not all stores have it in stock. Pool/hot tub stores are also good places to go

Much happier to see a big tank.

I have a HAMMERHEAD/BARRACUDA GOLD HYBRID - 6000/4300 GPH - REEFLO
I have 2x 1.5 inch drains, and 2 x 1 inch returns with durso set up.
I can't seem to open up the valve more than just a tiny bit before it starts to run the sump dry. If i remove the durso will i get better drainage? Any other suggestions besides the fact that I should have went with 2inck drains
Thanks

So did invent a new drain system? So i couldn't get enough water out of my tank with dual dursos, so i went just with the hole on the bottom of the tank which is much faster but way too loud so i took a piece of pvc pipe drilled a $hit ton of little holes in it and seems to work kept 90% of my drainage speed and a bout 50% sound reduction

I find I rescape my tank about 6 times in the new, early stages. Eventually I'll settle on something.

It helps to make a few pieces for yourself with mortar. Especially while it's all still dry rock - a few creative shapes really opens up your options to scape. Also include shelf rock as it's an easy way to get caves, plains, etc.

I would lean towards ATI Powermodule Hybrid, or a DIY T-5HO / 3W LED display because I like the look of 1 or 2 T-5 Actinic run outside of LEDs down the center of the tank.

Couple of other issues that have come up i cant reach the bottom of the tank with my hands and I need to put some putty on the base of my rock to secure them to the glass any clever ideas as to how to get this done
The other issue is that i am curing my rocks in the tank and at some point i guess I should change all the water right?
But i cant produce 325 gallons that fast
