Which pump do you use as a return to your main display from the sump? I am considering an upgrade to a 265, but am not sure which pump to pick as the return. Amazing tank!

Im using a GEN X PCX40 with about 20% reduced flow.

Thanks

Back from the dead !!

Back from the dead !!

Its been a while,
Update:
Back in 2009 while I was away on Business my Chiller failed and unfortunatly it was during a heat wave as you saw from the previous pictures the filtration was located in my Garage so with the MH running and the Heat my tank cooked:angryfire:

So I Stripped it down sold all my equipment and converted it to Fresh water.
Although freshwater is nice, I just just dont find myself mesmerized like my Reef would do.....SO

Since May I have been putting together my equipment list and I am starting the build same 265, but all equipment will be new, and all MaxSpect Mazzara P`s LED lighting. Trying to make this one as efficient as can be.

I will post update pictures its going to be a slow build due to time constraints but hopefully it will be ready by xmas.

Forgot to mention the rocks are MARCO ROCK very nice stuff actually nicer that Carib Sea`s South Sea more holes which makes it lighter that is . I still used some south sea`s here.

NOTE: Do not try to drill Marco Rock with a masonry bit it will split in half or break apart easily,good thing i had lot of Glue.

Forgot to mention was going bare bottom but decided to go with ESV Ultra white Coarse sand instead just a bit for aesthetics .
