Reef savvy is expensive but makes nice tanks. I just got a quote for a 36"x24"x20" about 75 gallons. It was $1150. Out of my price. I have the 24"x24"x12 deep blue I use as my frag tank. It's a great little tank. If you go with it just make sure to get new bulkheads the ones they come with...
Thank you guys for having me I had a great time. I can't wait to see that tank fully stocked. Thank you to those that donated to the raffle and thank you very much jim (downbeach) for your generosity. It was great to put some faces to the names I see on here all the time.

What you can do is get a gas generator and install a tri-fuel carburetor. This will allow you to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. Something like that would come in handy if gas is hard to come by like it was after sandy in some places.
I would go with glass if you're talking about making baffles in a sump. Plexi/acrylic can bend under the weight of the water and does not "bond" to silicone as well as glass will.
They can be a bit tough till you get used to them. Try setting the times you want in the programs and then run the clock all the way through 24 hrs. Hope this makes sense. If not call me

If there's room to Run the simp at a higher level I would do so. I asked to make sure you went deep enough. As Jgraz said you can always raise the skimmer.
What skimmer will you be running in the sump? Most have an optimal running depth. I would do the bacfles the same height. And 1" up for the center of the bubble trap is fine.
Hopefully ill be able to make it. Very nice of you guys to do this. The first and only meeting I have been able to make was at your house and it was a good time. How much for the sol blues ?
