Thank you!..yes its 8ft long takes up the whole wall haha

 

[XLwakeboarder]

Very nice. I really like the achilles. Probably my favorite of all the Tangs.

 

[hershell]

Looks real good. I noticed you are using edutors for flow. What kind of pumps are you running and what do you think about them? I'm using them in my 360 build so I'm wondering how well they work...

 

[elvictre]

Looks good.

Quick question. Do you think the flow accelerators make a difference on the returns? I was thinking about doing this to my tank but I was told that they only work on a closed loop.

 

[elvictre]

That's funny that we both had the same question within 2 minutes of each other.

 

[louisvilleboy]

i have a 220 with a 75 gallon refiguim and 35 gallon sump and was lookin at the flow accelerators are they any good i see thats all your using in all that sweet salt water nice tank man

 

[JohnnyBassMan]

Looks good.

im running 3 pumps total...two sedras(Sedra KSP-20000) for filtration and i have my main pump on a closed circut to turn over water along with 3 SCWDs and the eductors on all the return lines(to make it all simple) the whole setup works great! there are 3 lines going at once each switching randomly every 40 seconds it does great for water movement and the corals and fish love it.

 

[hershell]

^^ Thanks.... What pump are you using on the closed loop? I'm thinking about using a 1" squid on a closed loop for the far end on my tank.

Off topic.... Nice M3
