    Shark Cage

    Yes moving the tank is not a task that I look forward to. It will be removing the wall that the tank is built into. ( A-ha, I forgot to mention it will be built in with a 4x8 ft 1.5in thick acrylic window) That wall will need to be replaced but I have 9 ft of sliders to get it out of the house...

    Shark Cage

    The reason I want a metal cage around the tank instead of wood is I want to be able to move this tank in the next ~5-8 years and not just chainsaw it out when I sell my house. If I can move it I will not have to build another tank in my new house. Not many people want the responsibility of a...

    Circulation Question

    if you are planning for SPS corals you will need much more current unless you have a large tank and have good linear flow. My ols 55 was turning 25x/hr and i was having great results with SPS and clams. my new 90 will be turning 27x/hr. You can never have too much flow.

    My water is 90 degrees!!

    The velocity pumps are known to raise the temp in a 55 more than 12 degrees. for this reason only i went with a iwaki wmd40rxlt. these pumps have a running temp of 140 deg and are not very well insulated. the manufacture doesn't even recommend these pumps
