question: to much water movment?

[Richard_Dicosimo]

well the way i want to have it set up is to have the mag suck from the overflow and pump into the bottom of the tank through 4 holes. each hole will be tee'd off and there will be 4 lock lines per hole. i was thinking that this would be a massive ammount of flow, but from what you guys are saying i think i may drill a spare bulkhead in the overflow compartment and make my plumbing flexible to the option of another mag.

thanks for the speedy replys

You might just want to try going with a bigger pump.

In my 100g, I have a Tunze Stream 6060 (1600 gph), an Eheim Pro II (200 gph), a Rio 1400 (400 gph), a AC 300 (300 gph), and a Mag 5 (250 gph after head loss). That should be a rated 2700 gph and my fish love surfing in front of the new tunze. Of course, I only have a few hardy softies in there & nothing that's in direct flow of a PH or filter outflow.

Compared to the ocean currents & tides, what we provide in our tanks is nothing.

Hey Richard, what ever you decide to do as far as the pump is concerned I don't think you should drill into the bottom of the tank. Better to have a couple of unsightly hoses over top then to end up like the picture above.

i cant go with a bigger pump now its already in route from mops.ca

i dont see why i would have to worry about my tank cracking if i build the stand properly level and have a peice of half inch foam under the tank. im not doing the drilling myself the guys at the glass guild convinced me of that, so im probably going to have them just do it for me.

if you could provide a good reason not to drill the tank i would deffinately go another route, but i think its safe (until otherwise convinced) and looks better.
