Thanks doug. My tank is actually only 83 gallons so will go with 1.5 drain and 1 inch return. I hope that does the trick.

Thanks for that. What kinda of return pump would you suggest for this setup?

Hi Guys. I'm having a 90 G tank built, and was wondering what you thought of the size of the drain and return holes. I'm thinking of going 2 inch for drain and 1.5 inch for return. All this will be in a center overflow. Thanks in advance for the help. Viks

Thanks. Is there a specific brand to go for? I do want to get a glass tank as I feel it will scratch less...or would you suggest a acrylic over glass? cheers

Thanks. Yeah agree with you about tank size and setting it up correctly. That's why I want to stick to the same size, ad do it right. Any suggestions on where to buy the tank and hood from. Thanks for the help.

Hi All. I'm looking to upgrade my current 75G, it a Jebo R3100 which i'm not a big fan of anymore. I'm stuck with CF lights, and I really want to start a good reef tank. My question is, could you recommend some really good quality glass tanks, around 75-100G. Also I'm gonna have a overflow to a...
