    What do you think of RIO pumps?

    I use a 2500, and 1700 for sump return, a 400 for the UV, and a 2500 for the nautilus TE Protein Skimmer. All of this fits snugly in the Tide Pool II filter.

    Acrylic Hood just arrived

    Thanks, I should be able to mount the 2-250 MH, and a actinic NO as well, Do wood screws hold in acrylic, or do you bolt it through the top?? The reflector then goes on the plywood sheet, and the whole assembly into the hood right.
