    Sump/Plumbing help.....

    Is your pump a 1500gph pump, or did you figure that to be the output with all the plumbing and bends in your piping?... Also, what size of tank do you have and what do you use to get the water to your tank (sea swirl, tunze, etc.) Thanks again.

    How much did you pay for your setup? It's really close to what I'm looking for. One other question, could I use my current pc's and convert them into a canopy setup with halides? I have an all enclosed fixture with 4 bulbs total I believe...

    What's left for sale

    How old is the setup? Who made it (make, model, etc.) How old are the bulbs and everything? Do you have pictures? Sorry for so many questions, I'm a little new to retro-fit but ready to upgrade to halides.
