Scratch the 800+ gph i'm going to shoot for around 2,000?

Here is my plan for my 55g (X = bought) (L = Looking at) 800+ gph (Powerheads/return) (L) Via Aqua Protein Skimmer SK-200 (L) 4x54w T5 Coralvue complete retro kits (X) 2 100w Visi-Therm Stealth Heaters (X/L) Filter socks for intake of sump (L) Anyone bought from here...

Great looking tanks, I'll wait and post a picture of my 55g :) EDIT it's for the algae cops?

Welcome, Nice to see the club is getting members from the surrounding states

Oh no... Guess what i just thought about something! The inside of the stand is bottom to top 19" but if i can cut the bottom of the stand out so the tank falls right in it'd be 22" Can it be done? For sump height of course :) unless there is a good in sump skimmer that'd fit

Really? i though they were easy... Hmm where do they sell small acylic tanks? If i go with the dual sump i really like Melev's http://www.melevsreef.com/acrylics/sumps/c/split_sump.html

What is going on, your losing everything...

Cool, Now i just gotta find a 15g or two. Something i'm worried about is power outage. If the power goes out how much water is going to syphon down. Is flex PVC quiet or doesn't matter and Drilling them should be easy right? Still 50/50 on this.

No Carlo the reason i said I'd drill it was for connecting the sumps if you look at the picture above you see the PVC (gray) goes through the brace. I don't need a frag tank i was just thinking i could make the one side into one since it'd be the refuge.

Well the reason i made this topic was to see what you guys think i should do. The brace is 10" front to back so i can't cut a square out since any tank that'd go in there would be 12" front to back... So i thought about making a dual sump connected by 2, 1" PVC so there would be 2, 1" holes in...

Really? you think it'd work? There would most likely be a filter sock on the intake. two 1" pvc conecting the tanks. First sump 10g and second 15g for power outage...

Here what drew up of how the dual sump would be but now i'm to scared to do it lol

I just think i'm going to go with a 15g sump.

I will try and take a picture in a little bit it's in the back of the garage. I thought that's what they meant i should do with Merv's DIY.

Thanks guys, Your saying cut a square out of the center brace? Wouldn't that make it very weak...

Ok, Well there is no back so i could work it out.

I have that too but i'm not worried about that. What i'm talking about is i have a brace holding that brace up making pretty much a T. So i have that brace in between the doors and in the middle of that brace there is another brace running from front to back of the tank.

I'm confused This brace goes down the middle like this top down view of the tank. I thought the 2 sumps would be cool but after i drew it up it is really a waste of money... I think i'm just going with a 15g sump/skimmer/fuge [_|_] Not . _ [___]

I'm sorry i mean the brace doesn't run across the back it runs front to back... The top of the stand that the tank sits on is two pieces and the brace connects them pretty much. I'll find or take a picture of it. I thought the Sump/skimmer with a 1" PVC at the top of the tank and connect it to...

Hey guys, My 55g stand has a brace right in the middle of the tank like 23" on each side of the brace. The biggest sump i can stick in there is a 10g i think... What should i do? would something 22" be big enough sump for a 55g? Also though about doing a sump/skimmer on one side and a...
