    OMG!!! Enough is enough

    Doc, I can prove a historical pattern for a bunch of things doesn't mean that they WILL happen. Right? Again you can not prove a negative. Lobbing bombs into an area where a know terrorist is is a bit different then an all out air strike on a country that had nothing to do with terrorist attacks...

    why syphon?????????????

    You will NEVER get the pumps to match. Is this an overflow box (U-tube,CPR) or just a pipe siphoning out of the tank?

    Water flow help...my first Sump/Fuge

    Usually tanks are only tempered on the bottom glass. Just for strength. Also that bottom pc is thinner than the rest of the glass. I've taken just a few a part. Look for an acrylic supply house. They will have adhesive. I use #3,#4 and #16. L0owes and Home Dumpster will not have bulkheads. You...

    OMG!!! Enough is enough

    Where was all this concern when the last administration was throwing good money after bad? Think Sen. McCain could have fixed this mess in 30 days? Please! From where I stand Republicans need not point out who and how much money has or will be spent. They had their shot and they blew it!

    55G vs larger? thoughts?

    I don't know about all that? But IMHO get a 75 or 90 before a 55. A 55 is 12" front to back while the 75/90's are 18". If you want a 4' footprint go bigger. If you want 60" go 120. A bit more height than the 110. I wouldn't do a 4' any bigger than a 90. The 120 tall is a real pain to work on...

    Two stage DT/fuge idea

    That would depend on how much flow we're talking. Remember that getting the water in is only half the battle. You will have to have an OF system in the 10 to accommodate that much flow. Example in my 55 reef in had about 15x turn over from my sump return. I can't imagine trying to get 900gph...

    Water flow help...my first Sump/Fuge

    I don't remember how big this is. I'll have to look at my drawings. I do know that after it was set up I made an inner box a bit bigger. I don't trust CPR type OF. I really really wouldn't trust one that I made. U-tube OF WILL NOT break siphon if set up properly. A CPR depends on something that...
