Ohhh, I see. She gets special pics does she?

This is awkward. Nice looking setup so far.

Okay, so I'm in need of some advice here. If you look at the first picture above showing the entire stand, you can see that I have had them cut out space for my external overflow on the end panel. My plan is to run two 6105's and two MP40W's at that end to push flow towards the clear end. The problem that has arisen is that I will need to "cut-out" spots for those powerheads to fit at the end. Two will fit beside the overflow, while two will go lower down on the panel.

My question is which two should go lower? I think the Vortec's have a broader flow so they probably should go up high. Opinions or advice suggesting otherwise?

much better chance of keeping sand in place using the tunze lower down. they're more of a jet. I have two 6105s stacked on each other maybe 4" off my sand. aimed just ever so slightly up. The top one is 24V too.

That's what I was thinking too. Now just to get them to cut the holes in the right spots. If this is the only problem I face I will count myself lucky.

Any Updates?

Is your builder still just using his left hand?

He's gotta be almost done

Haha....just his left hand is what it seems like sometimes. Not done yet but getting closer...slowly. Siding is half on and we're doing lots related to the yard. Electrical is more than half done. Gas is in. Flooring should go in soon.
