I've been using the 3/4 model now for 3 years with no troubles, it's on a mag 7 and although it does cut the flow it works great on my 40 gal breeder tank. I do run vortech's and tunze's on my other tanks. But I will say the scwd is something you can get now that's affordable till you can save...
It all depends on the wattage and how big your return pump is. Mine has run as long as 3 hours and had juice left when the power came back on. I run a mag 7 on 1 tank, a quiet one 3000 on another and a genx pcx40 on another. I had a spare 800avr from one of my freshwater tanks and use that on my...
I have the cyber power 1250avr, I bought the refurbished ones from tiger direct for $69 here's the link but they are no longer available.

That is one of aquatraders many selling names, they keep switching once the neg gets to high, the key things to keep a eye out for is
1)Free items included: plan on not getting a replacement if any of the items are damaged or fail.
2.)All sales final, no refund

If you plan on using 20K I would go with either a giesemann or Radium 250watt or higher,it seems those are the only 2 bulbs that most people that run 20K have and are happy with. And they aren't cheep like the 12k reeflux.
Wendy, basicly so there would be more room for the plumbing.
Mike, I called the company today about the tank, I left a message asking them how long it will take to build and deliver the tank. Once I hear back I'll have a better idea of the time frame. I also called 3 places for estimates on...
Nick,
When it comes time to change your bulbs you may want to try a GE 6500K in place of one of the 11,000K you'll get better growth and the overall color of the tank won't be that much differant than it is now ( they give off a nice white look with the actinic + bulbs). I used to run mine like...

How ??? how can the hard left at the bottom of the stairs be made? the ceiling is 72/73" tops so it couldn't go on it's end.
thanks Ralph I'll definitely be calling when the time comes :)
Rich, the joists would be parallel to the long side of the tank. One side of the tank was going to be about 4" off the outside wall, the rest of the tank would be in the middle of the room. There is no header or support from the wall with the door in the basement. There is a 1" gas line I forgot...
Ed, Thanks, Mikes been really busy lately and didn't want to bother him till I know 100% that it can be done. I usually bribe him with Faith cooking diner then wait till he's tired and slip him the money ;) that what we did when he installed our slider :)
Bax, no pic's I'll try and take some...
Thanks Phyl and Ed, this is definitely a little scary for me right now. I'm hoping to make the dream tank become a reality, it will all depend on the floor and cost of construction.
Ed if possable one day in the near future I'd like to check out yours and Billy's tank to see how you guy's...
