Okay, I'm back from deep lurk mode to get some advice. I'm currently running a 45G breeder tank w/ a 15 gal stearite sump and an Urchin skimmer, DSB, 1-175w 10k bulb, CAP 1800 pump pushing about 400 g/hr circulation w two penguin powerheads (1100 and 900, I think). Anyway, we're planning on building a new house soon, and my wife thought that this would be a good time to upgrade to a larger tank, since we'd be moving the existing one anyway. I'd like to stay at or near a four foot long footprint, so I'm looking at either a 48L x 24W x 24T (120G) or maybe a 48L x 24W x 30T (150G) Now's your chance to shine. Help me design a killer setup for this tank. I plan on using a Calfo-style overflow, and probably a Calfo-style return as well. FYI I'm attaching a diagram showing both. I'll be building the stand and hood myself, and all filtration/water treatment/sump/etc., will have to be in the stand.

Have fun! :-D :grin: :-D :grin: :-D
