I finally got one of two planned surge tanks going on my 75g! Been running all weekend in the "prototype" model. I get about a 4 gallon surge emptied into the tank in about 4 seconds (wow, so that's 3600 gph if it were a sustained flow). As impressive as that sounds, it is nowhere near the kind of blast of water that is a RealWaveInTheOcean(tm), but I'm happy with the effect (the corals seem to dig it too, but time will be the ultimate judge of that).

Next step is to glue the pieces together so it's no longer a "prototype." Of course, already I'm seeing ways to improve it ... maybe for the second surge tank. Ah well, it's all a learning process, it's all good. :cool:
