Welcome to Canreef. Nice tank your off to a great start. What kind of sand did you use it looks like a nice size?

Thanks Big nose
For sand I went with 60 pounds of Argonite and tried for a fairly even spread of about 1.5inches across the board.

Have done a lot of FW over my life including a 3,000g Koi pond and I had tried salt many, many years ago and the mistakes and head aches I learned from that should have atleast prepped me this time. When I first started thinking about it back in December and started doing some reasearch I was pretty surprised at many of the advances/changes in thinking etc. So I gave it a fair bit of thought, tried to figure out where I could go for function and improve on later as well as area's where I could grow in/up to should that arise as well. And yet still seems like not a day has gone by when I havent thought...Ooops should have thought of/realised that sooner....and still so much to learn. Hoping in a years time I have the beginnings of a nice mix reef but will always be more fish oriented..Its in my blood.

Welcome to Canreef. A great size to start off with.

Thanks Nastay, that helped .
Now that I see what you mean, it might be doable, I'll check the syphon breaks, and see where the water ends up post power outage/failure.

Here is mine. I did not mean the sump overflow I meant the overflow in your display. It depends what kind of overflow you are using if it will work or not but if my return pump were to fail my overflow will not drain below the acceptable water line on my heater. If the power goes out your heater wouldn't run anyways but if your return pump fails you must make sure you know how far down your overflow will drain. Just test it and make sure the heater is below the final water line when the return pump is off. Just an idea
