Thanks for the nice welcome, can't wait to get going on this project. I do have the tank already I have close to 20 tanks just need pick one to convert. I think I will be on the right path soon I have a friend that is giving me some great advice. Thanks Shell
I will be drilling my 135 as soon as I get the office finished and can move in. As it sits right now I have a 1500gph Mag drive pump that has very little use on it or I could use my 500gph external Little Giant. I would prefer to use the submersible but is it to big for my tank if I have a 30g sump??
As soon as I get Christmas over with I will start looking for rock

go with the Mag a rate of about 10x turnover is pretty good unless you are going to have a fudge in the sump then you may want to slow the flow down in the sump or you could recalculate some of the water flow back to the sump it would give the slowed down effect. I have allot of movement in my tank but slow in my sump as I have fudge in it too. I also have a little giant external it has some thing like 895 gph with a vertical lift of 18 feet this pump will be on my 90 once in is up and running

Mmmmmmmm, sump fudge .

That’s what spell check wanted and it was late and I was not arguing with a computer. In the mean time got to go have some rocky mountain fudge for a snack.

Yum yum.
