Hi Everyone
I have decided to build another tank 175cm X 67 cm X 65 cm (l X h X w), that I will use for my reef. My current 1.5m tank have two bulkhead at the top through which the water falls into the sump. Can I do the same thing on the new tank or is an overflow chamber better and if so where should I make it and what size.
Secondly and a very important one. I want to run this tank on a closed loop return. Any ideas on how this should look to really have a good waterflow in my tank. I have seen a very interesting design of a tank with a closed loop and different returns somewhere on the internet, but cannot remember where. It may even have been on this forum. Any body knows what i am talking about or have perhaps seen something like that?
Please guys I am looking for good response from you.
PS I do not mind drilling hole in my tank. I'll drill as many as are needed. Oh yes, will these holes(bulkheads0 have any effect on the strengh of the tank.
Another thing, I am using 10mm glass- Is it strong enough for the tank. I will be putting in braces. One 10mm for the bottom will be fine?
Thanks
Sanders
