New setup in the making...

[Breadman]

I used a 30L for my 100G setup... I used an submerged pump tho.

What kind of pump. I had thought about a mag 18 and a closed loop with a mag 12.

I would suggest on the overflows to make sure the tops are cut straight and now with any teeth. Also make sure they are cut low enough to keep water off braces ect....Then take some egg crate grating which has very thin laterials which will not block any water to use to keep fish ect from getting into your box...What this does is makes the box skim the very top layer of water and it does not build up where you are skimming a half inch of water like with the wide teeth. most of your trash and so on will be in the first 1/8 inch so you do a better job of filtering. Sounds great ....and good luck. Terry

After going and looking at a pump my LFS had running I've finally decided on a pump for the return, a BlueLine 40 HD-X. It should be in Friday so I've got to get to work and get this tank ready.
