I just bought a 45 gallon tank stand and canopy with a wet dry pump protein skimmer and overflow box.....50 dollars!!!!! The guy I bought it from wanted 80 for it......then he said since I came and got it out of his way so fast he would give it to me for 50. Im pretty excited.

Im hoping everything will make the transition okay. I think im going to get the owner at the lfs to fish/coral sit for me for a few weeks while I set up the new tank. Selling all the old equipment, such as my scwd and my mad 9.5. Probably going to run two koralia 2's now that I have the height to hide them. :)

haha. its plenty. Have you ever used a mag drive? 750 gph at a 5 ft head. They are strong as hurcules. It shuts off at 14 feet. and 100 gph at 13 feet. Now will it shoot water out of a basement? probably not. I would get the mag 36 for that. :) Then you would have no worries. Are you running two returns? whats going on with the build boss?

still trying to get the house finished up, momma says no tank work till the house is done, so it just sits there empty..............

i have a blueline hd-x return pump right now

how much you want for the mag - -it would be a good back up or i might run two returns, there are 2 on the tank already but they are piped together right now, i was thinking about running one as a constant return and the other pump {like your mag} on a pulse timer for wave action. depends on weather the blue line will keep up with the two over flows or not - - -ill just have to experiment with it.

i am going to convert my sump into a algae screen, actually 2 screens where the bio balls go and then put the euroreef skimmer in the other section then from there drop into a 55 gallon fuge/frag tank for the returns

oh the plans ...........lol i cant wait to get started i have to have the tank cycled by the end of September as i want to go to the MACNA convention with Pimp and score some hard to find treats to bring home {corals}
