I have been thinking about going with the single middle overflow lately. I'm doing a black background so it would blend perfectly. I was concerned about how much space it would take up on the 18" across. Is it hard to workaround?

Well I heard that the brace gets caked with salt that's impossible to clean but I'm assuming if the aga has 2braces then it's not really a perfecto issue. I also had no clue that perfecto is marineland and I guess my concern was that the store was trying to sell me a non name brand tank. Thanks...

I've been having a hard time locating the tank I want specifically the Aqueon 125 gallon with dual corner overflows. The LFS said they had a back dual overflow but they no longer get the corner ones in. They could special order it but it will take months to arrive. Is there any reason why...

Well I measured from the bottom of my stairs to bottom of tank is just over 12' and then from floor to tank is probably another 5'. I'm assuming I don't have to measure the horizontal length from top of basement stairs to the floor of the tank. I found this chart mid page. Mag pump chart It...

Thanks

The room directly below my tank Has the main water supply. I was thinking about installing a sink and mixing a large bin of water for changes (25 gallons). It's the perfect spot for ro/di too. My question is will a normal relatively inexpensive powerhead be able to get the water up the stairs...

Thanks for the recommendations. I fixed that link. I was looking into the Berlin sumps in comparison to precision marine a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't find much info. What's the difference between the Berlin sumps and the Wet dry? Is it the filter sock? The aqueon he showed me had one...

So went to start buying some stuff today and the LFS started recommending other equipment. Wanted to see if i could get your opinions. Recommended I go with a marineland model 3 sump or aqueons sump. He told me he wasnt familiar with the specific model but in general precision marine is just a...

I think he looks more like Gheorge Muresan (Google Image Result for http://fansided.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/muresan1.jpg)

So I'm putting together an equipment list for my first saltwater plunge. Let me know what you guys think. I'm open to suggestion if there is better equipment out there. Some stuff I'm stuck between two choices so opinions would be appreciated. I'm not doing coral to start however I want to...

Found a 125 Aqueon with dual overflow in the corners. They also have one that has the overflows on the back wall of the tank. Debating on which to get. LFS said they can special order though so thats good news.

Thanks for this by the way. Great starting point for me!

Well i appreciate your design but i didnt really understand it :). Keep in mind i can hardly screw in a lightbulb. I guess my only option is the intank black boxes. The one i was originally looking at had 1 corner with 2 tubes so im guessing the dual corner would be one tube each side and...

So the overflow box would normally hang on like an inside corner of the tank? The 90 gallon i was originally thinking about getting dedicated the entire back left side for this over flow box and i didnt love the look of it especially since most people coming into the house would see that black...

I noticed you listed quarantine tank in your initial message so Ill take that as a necessity as well. If you could give me brands that would be great! Im on the fence about the coral. Based on what I'm reading i just dont think im experienced enough to launch a tank with them immediately so...
