Need opinions on new tank design

[Myka]

I didn't even look at your sump design...what are you using the fuge for? Pods or macroalgae culture? I also suggest you do your baffles the other way - first and last one raised up, middle one on the bottom. The baffles don't have to be that tall either. If the water level is 8" make the baffles 10" or so.

Dood, use true union ball valves. Union and ball valve in one. Takes up less space and costs a tad less.

k, will do up some new diagrams tonight or tomorrow. The fuge is for both pods and macros...they kinda go together. Where can I find these union valves?...

Mindy, why reverse the baffles? wouldnt that suck any sand or anything outta the fuge area?

remember true union valves come apart so install in the right direction

Any one have a diagram on how to plumb a om 4 way so i have 4 outlets in front and 2 behind the rock work? also, aside from the price, whats the difference between a super squirt and a 4 way?

difference between squirt and 4way is the flow they can handle. Check OM Waterpix forum for CL layout ideas.
