    sump design for a 110 gal tank?

    From what I've seen in my travels 2" hole = 1" bulkhead. I suggest that when you're shopping for bulkheads, find one that requires exactly a 2" hole, even a little varience can cause great grief, trust someone who has learned the hard way 1.125" DOES NOT equal 1" when it comes to some bulkhead...

    Believe it or not, I think that should work :D I suggest you splurge for marine ply even though in theory the water should never reach it. Good luck and let us know the results. Later, Paul

    powerhead or protein skimmer

    Way tooooooo many fish for a tank that size and I'm telling you if you have a MANATEE in there you're REALLY overdoing it the last few we were feeding from the dock easily weighed over 500 pounds! LOL are you sure you're not talking about a Mandarine? I'm going to refrain from further comments...

    Dolphin 900 pump

    Okay let's start this with a *semi* fresh mind :) What's the height difference from the pump to the returns inlets? I'm going to guess here and say 3 feet (if I'm too far off let me know) plus 3 90 degree elbows right? I'm going to go out on a limb and make a "guesstimate" that you're probably...

    Dolphin 900 pump

    Zafira... I'm sorry but it's getting late for me to be thinking, I promise to look at this more on Friday okay. My gut reaction is that if you go with 90 degree "sweeps" rather than "ells" you'll be avoiding *some* of the head pressure but I really need to think more before I answer :) sorry...

    MH Bulbs

    None of the ones that I've seen at HD have the right properties unfortunately. Wouldn't it be nice if you could pick up a $25 bulb right next door instead of paying $100 and waiting a week to get it? *sigh* gee this is fun! Later, Paul
