you have a nice build thread going. That frag tank was really impressive. I'd love to hear an update how everything is going.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone. This accident has taught me that there is definitely no guarantee of tomorrow. Still struggling to get back to 100% and barely have enough energy/desire to keep after a little 30g cube so it'll be while until I undertake the big 'un. However, I am going to go down there and scrub all the equipment and make sure its ready to run when I get back in that mode. I'm hoping over the winter, I'll get bit by the bug. In the meantime, its kinda nice not worry about maintaining it. When I do build it up, I'm hoping it'll be better . I'll definitely spend more time to prevent pests or nuisance corals, etc...
Again, thanks again....and remember to wear a helmet![]()
Thanks man. I really like the Marineland tanks. This will be my third. IMO, the only drawback on their larger tanks are the overflows which really aren't designed to handle the turnover I would like on a tank this size. So I modded them:

Cayenne, you are correct, I am using all 4 predrilled holes as drains with the returns coming over the side into 1" Sea Swirls. I've decided to use the "Herbie method" which can handle considerably more flow than the standard durso. The larger pipes are for emergency backup.
Where did you get the plastic fence material for your overflow?
