Now, I am just wondering what to do. Do I go closed loop again, with a OM-4. Or vortech's? I REALLLLY like the no powerhead look. I think I want a blue background, then the overflow is made from smoked glass. Remove overflow?? Allways wanted a Coast to Coast overflow.. Hmmm I'm in this far, I dunno.......
Just so many possibilities.

I'm trying to figure out the same as you for flow. Although I would only want a 2-way, or a VorTech, or a Wavebox. I'm leaning towards doing the 2-way plus either a VorTech or Wavebox. Decisions, decisions. I'm doing a Herbie though overflow though.

Ya, If I keep the Overflow box, then it's Herbie. Thing is, It center overflow, Smoked glass. I want a blue background I think. Don't know how the Smoked glass will look against the blue??? But if I take it out, what about the holes allready drilled??? Grrr Remind me WHY I do this??

I understand why people like the natural look of the blue background, but I prefer black as I find it really turns the tank into a centre piece and makes the colors pop. I considered the same thing with my tank, but my fw tank has a black background, and the overflow in my tank is also black (corner though), so I figured oh what the h, just paint it black and be done with it. So, the answer is simple...keep the overflow, do a Herbie, and paint the back black! Just like me!!!
 Although I don't think it would look bad if you kept the black overflow and painted the back of the tank blue. I think it would look just fine.

+1 to black backgrounds. I have blue on my 90 and I'm not a huge fan of it. Black is the way to go IMO

Are you religious about keeping the back glass clean?....If not then it really doesnt matter much which color you go with.... Ive done both and liked the black background better....for as long as I could see it, anyway.
