Hi would like to know what size hole should I drill for the return bulkhead?. I have the overflow bulkhead size at 1 1/2in.

From all your pictures I like the 14k bulbs. You can see the colors of everything in your tank.

Yeah, good itea, I am going to make the return a little higher.

So you think it will be okay?

The overflows will have a 1 1/5" bulkheads and the refuge will have 3/4" bulkhead, so I am going to use a valve to regulate the water and the extra will go down the T to the skimmer???? What you think?

I am scared drill holes to close to each other thats why I am going to drill them on the right. The one on the right is going down to the refuge. What do you mean " don't even think water will end up over on that side"?

I have been reading about halides lighting and am woundering what is best type of halides lighting? I know there is the older type of halides which is Single-Ended MH lighting that has a uv protection, then there is Double-Ended MH which doesnt have UV protection and can burn the corals, but its...

Hi Was woundering which one would you prefer. I know some people here are using overflows box and some are using overflow drilled. Why do you prefer this over that?

Wow, that is a nice post you made there, it shows me a clear picture of a r/o unit in action. I see why i need it now and will get this r/o unit thanks.

I am new to saltwater and am wondering is r/o unit required for saltwater? Why?

Wow nice job drawing the picture, Thanks. I guess I will need the overflow box.

Hi Everone; I have a question about overflows. Why do most people who have drilled tanks have boxed overflows and not just a strainer? What is the difference?

Very nice tank, You are doing a great job.

Thanks, I did some research and I will probable will go with soft coral because they are more safer to have and require less lighting then the hard corals. I am going to look into the T5s lighting. I am going to buy 2xkorallia #4 from my LFS this week. Is it better to get 4 smaller ones or 2 of...
