Very nice but id get rid of those powerheads and get 2 or 3 big ones instead of all those little ones.

i agree, with all those dinky powerheads, you might as well get some big ones or maybe one of those tunze boxes.

sorry but that tank dosent look 3 feet high and 3 feet wide :thinking: .. i believe a tank thats 8x3x3 would be over 300 gallons :notsure: ....
..anyone else know the gallons of a 8x3x3?

Those dimensions would figure out to 500 plus gallons.

Tunze has a wavemaker as well...
They do in the 1000's of gallons per hour and only use a tiny amount of power.
So it'd look better and only use 1/2 the power and get 2x the flow you are getting out of those..
Still looks good though.

Nope! Keep trying

8x2x3= 360 gallons not 265
Even with 10(wow!!!) powerheads its not 8x2x3, maybe 8x2x2

i dunno
i kind of like the idea of all those powerheads.
that would really keep the water swishing in all different directions.

You can do the same thing with afew bigger ones. The idea seems ok ,but to me, it looks like the invasion of the MJ-400's, jmo. Not to mention, 10 extra cords to plug in :scared:

getting very confussed here. nice tank an all but if its yours dont ya know what size it is?
i also agree about the power heads. gotta go. talk about heating the water and a total waste of power. you could placetwo tunz in there and move more water for less money,less heat,less cluter.
BTW in case you want to know the tank is 2 feet wide. from the side shot i can assure you that it is not 3 feet.
GL to ya
