Im cureently in the process of desighning a top and was wondering if i have to have the lights 8-10 inches above water level. If i have massive amount of air circulation and a couple of fans built in would it be alright to place metal halides 4-5 inches from water level? Thanx

Ok but i could run two pumps if they where both placed in the sump together. The water would flow down the overflo to the sump, do its magic and both pumps would pump clean water to the tank. Does that make sense? Plus someone mentioned that i couldnt lower the jets due to when the pumps are...

Do protein Skimmers and Chillers have to have water drawn from the tank or can the water be drawn off a line or T connection?

What im working with.

ok but i have a question? Ive never used any type of overflow and was wondering if you have to turn the pumps off to do water changes because of how low the water gets? Im actually getting great ideas for a really cool tank. Its gonna be expensive.

Ok next question what if i had multiple jets on diffrent sides and diffrent elevations of a reef tank? For instance if the pump was strong enough can it shoot out 4 jets of water? And also in my sump if i put two pumps going to diffrent sides of tank? My overflow will just pass more water...

What is the next key to a Reef Tank BEsides LS and LR? Sumps Refundulum Protein Skimmers Calcium Lime? A little setup instrucions and guide on what to spend uddles of money on and not the wrong stuff would be great. Thanx

Why is that will the sunlight affect coral? The topview would look like this.

Um thats my goal.> I did think about the cords and i figured i would put the tank on hardwood or tile so i would raise it on casters and come in underneath.

but im trying to avoid anything and everything inside the tank except maybe the small jets that will shoot the return water out. I think putting just regular holes on the side of the tank and alowing water to be sucked in from the sides would work better but im just brainstorming. Can you have...

You see ive never desighned a reef tank and am worried about stuff working right. Ok basically it will be 4 sidded tank with only the front and the back viewable. So on teh ends i can extend a piece of wood to cover a small percent of front tank. and then i could hide the overflows on both...

See that is the type of feedback that i need. Im thinking about 75 gallons maybe teh 90 but i want custom dimensions i just have to get te right price. Hopefully i will beable to build my own stand and top with oak out of mostly crown molding to give it a flare. I saw a pretty neat ideal on...

Ok after thinking about it more i came to the conclusion the flow can be in one direction am i right? So then i would need the intake and outtake on oposite ends. Im only just starting with saltwater so im sure it will be a FOWLRLS. I still need to grasp teh concept of te refungeum and sump...

Ideas of a bored teenager.... Well i poster this in the DIY and im just wondering what other people think of not putting all those power heads and what not if you can put the jets in teh right place. For instance have four heads all at diffrent levels in teh tank? Would it work all you...
