Ok, I finally got round to getting the drawings done. I'd really appreciate any feedback on my proposed system Thanks

I really appreciate all the great advice that I am getting. Dont worry about writing too much I need to do all the reading I can at the minute :D I'm going to do some drawings tomorrow and post them up for you to have a look. If you dont mind you can tell me what you think of them and what...

Thanks for the pic. I assume that this hangs on the back off the tank so to speak. Could I add an additional internal overflow as the inlet to the closed loop system feeding back into the back of the tank via drilled holes. If this is correct how may return holes would you sugggest I use for...

Hi Sorry for all the questions but I'm very new to this hobby. Am I right in assuming that I need a closed loop in addition to the sump? If so I also assume that I need extra drill holes in the tank? Are these in the bottom or the back of the tank or both? Anywhere I can read about...

OK I'll stick with the original central overflow design with one 1.25" drain and two .75" returns. I am planning in putting about 90lbs of live rock and a 4" sand bed to cater for the filtration. I will be using the 1.25" drain to feed a sump where I will have a skimmer, heaters, refugium...

Thanks for the reply Using the AGA design I assume that the overflows would be in each corner of the tank as opposed to a central overflow? What size would the corner overflows need to be? I was hoping to use a central overflow as one end panel of the tank will be visible in the room.

Would the method I have describe in my first post provide enough circulation without the need for adding powerheads to the tank? How does a closed system work? Any links with images would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Hi All I need some advice on the design of an internal overflow system for a new reef tank that I am getting custom built The tank itself is 60"x18"x28" which works out at approx 130 Gallons I want to push through about 900GPH (any comments on this please feel free) According to the...

What Im looking at are 1" bulkheads. The reason for option for one overflow was for aesthetics, as you can see from the photo the left hand corner will hide the the overflow and return whereas the right hand side is visible upon entrance to the room. Would a centre overflow with two...

Tank hasnt been built yet. Will be getting it ordered in the next week. Have been waiting till Im sure where the drill holes are going as I want the tank predrilled before its ordered. Im feeling my way in the dark here as I dont know anyone whos done reef before so Im totally relying on books...

Yeah sump is going to go in first will probably build it myself. I am going to build the canopy but havent designed it yet. I think MH is the way to go but need to do some more homework

Hi all I am setting up my first reef aquarium and am looking for some advice and comments. I have been keeping tropical fish for 6 years so Im not totally new but marine is quite complex to me. I am planning on setting up a 60"x18"x24" aquarium using live rock setup with a sump. Protein...
