Or do you have plans on putting your own mini-hydro-dam in those ponds in that yard of yours?

Now you got me thinking again Tony....lol I will have a small stream pushing alot of water.....

I have been sourcing alot of the most effecient pumps out there, at the same time I dont think Im going to do a surge on that tank anymore as it wont have as many corals in it now because we are putting a 1200+ gallon tank in our living room that will have more corals in it as well as some nice schools of fish(7'-9'x5'x5') It will use some of the most energy effecient pumps on the market, LED lighting, and a few other things to make it special.....

The larger show tank out in the garage will probably just house some sharks, with a few scared fish...
