I'm really liking your 69 Mindy! Hoping to see more of this 69 as it plays out.

First of all love the dimensions and volume, giggity... Wondering about you weir gap though, gigggity. Have you decided what you wanna use for power heads? If they create a wave then I have a concern you won't have consistent surface skimming through the overflow. I tried a 3/8 gap once like that, giggggity and the wave maker caused the water to pulse and kind of vapour lock. You might wanna add some vertical slots, or a bunch of them, just a thought. Or make the gap wide enough, ummmmm
 , so to avoid this but not too big for snails to get lost in the back?.Also, does the eurobrace cover the back overflow section or would there be access? I see a detritus trap down there Following along Quagmire

I made a few modifications and decisions to the final design of the tank. The order is in now, so no going back!
- 3 side low-iron PPG Starphire glass - trimless - the 3 bulkheads are grouped in the center of the overflow now rather than the two ends, and decided to have the return drilled for 3/4". So far, I'm still happy with my sump V3.1 design, but haven't had the time to figure out measurements for the glass. It looks like life has settled down a bit now (I hope!) so I plan to get this ordered up this week and work on the sump this weekend. I am building new kitchen cabinets for the house this year. The lower kitchen cabinets will be low-gloss slate grey (uppers are gloss white), and I'm building the tank cabinet to match, and will add a drink ledge for beer made of rough sawn walnut to match the flooring.

Haahaa I thought you would have avoided GHL like the plague... Didn't get enough of it yet eh?!
This is a quote from Dave on RC. It made me laugh out loud when I read it. "Scott, you are the only person I recall ever say anything positive about the Profilux or trying to program it. Glad you have it covered." Glad the tank's in the works now! Last edited by Scythanith; 05-04-2015 at 12:26 PM.
