Hello all!
Yeah, so I'm going to switch out that 110g that I got for free for a 90g I am hopefully going to get for free. I don't like the 110g tall's dimensions and would much rather a 90g. THEREFORE:
I am thinking about how to design the overflow on the 90g, and I want to be able to get it as quiet as possible. I'm going with the beananimal design. Three questions:
1. I am going to use a Mag 9.5 pump with the option of using a Mag 12. What SIZE bulkheads should I use for the overflow? 1"? 1 1/2"?
2. The glass encasement that has to be used for the overflow box - does it have to be ALL the way across the back of the tank, or can it be a small box in the center - enough to cover the bulkheads and have enough space for water to overflow into it. could someone recommend the amount of inches of overflow I need?
3. Anyone ever painted the inside of the glass box with black krylon paint? I know that paint is non-toxic to reefs if dried completely, How well does it last inside the tank with all the saltwater??
