Oh yeah.. while inspecting the tank again... I noticed very small flecks of pink and red coming in on almost all the rocks.. HAHAHA... 2 week coralline FTW...still got 6 more days to shine..

gold nosed eviotas don't hide in the sand.. they like caves and rocks... that's it.

that's the plan right there...make sure the spraybar is right under the plastic lip though.. and have the canopy hang over the edges and hide anything that goes below the plastic trim. also fab up something to match the canopy that goes around the bottom plastic too i.e. 3-4inch stand to make...

Originally Posted by mboswell1982 dude, that is a sick idea, i can glue it into the rim, just under it, using maybe some black pvc, drill my holes in it, attach it to the return pump, i may just have to get a maxi jet 400 for this, but hell, i dont care LOL, and yeah, the sump will be turned...

Originally Posted by mboswell1982 here's the workup, tell me what ya think of this lil design make sure the sump is turned sideways to minimize headloss on the return pump... that's all I can really recommend... make sure the overflow tube that goes into the sump does so below the water line...
