if your going the cheapest route.  do yourself a favor and buy a used GOOD fixture.  if it isn't going over a display then you don't need to be all fancy.  i think you'd waste way too much money when someone elses loss could be your gain. example i got a brand new Tek 6bulb with upgraded bulbs...

i personally prefer filter socks and having the drain output atleast 4" below the water line. as mentioned previously, i would keep the drain full throttle and only back peddle the return but i'd T off return to the sump so it doesn't effect your return pump.

i would go with the electrical conduit. i know the bar your referring to. 10.59each. i personally would need about 3 pieces. then drill and depending on either welding or bracing. would end up costing. i would suggest conduit if you have the bender or the cutter a lot cheaper. 3bucks for a 10...

what type of chain are you going to use? what type of piping do you plan to use?

i use the same method as monroe. i think using an external would be cool. but i use the extra space for all the other equipment and more fiddle room. plus i'm cheap. internal is cheaper and more readily available for replacement.

if it is overflowing. drain is faster than return. sounds like you were fiddling with flows (return/drain) and it isn't necessarily equalized. I'd open up the return a bit then try again. it's a waiting game with everything. also, as merv requested a picture would help see your setup and...

name: Mike for sale: koralia k3 and k2 i'll clean them with v1:w1 solution before picking up price:45picked up i prefer not to ship was in use for probably 2 months. but bought used. they work fine. the 3 gets stuck sometimes on start up but it seems that was quite normal with the 3s after...

PICS. I guess sunday you and I shall be heading for our PICKUPS. have fun in the snow. please say it's going in the passenger seat of the s2000. ha! :o

personally, look into the calfo style. someone cut his tank and added an external overflow box and it is just an overall sick DIY. if i had the tools i'd be all over some DIY work. i'll look for it and maybe you might change your mind. good luck with sale though.

i would just modify it. may be easier? that's a nice tank/stand.

yeah i'll definitely have to go take a look. i haven't had the time recently.

no complaints for glass holes. never heard any complains so far. merv a little confused about the bell but i'll see if i can replicate it. i go to HD since there's two in my direct area. think a lowes isn't too far away.

that looks awesome, mr x. no fish? it kills me to think what might jump. limits me even more.

could have told me.  i would have picked it up for you as well and just meet up after.  ;D  atleast i can tell you how it went.  there should be another date for next month?  it's better to call them. my last call was actually pretty pleasant. maybe they were in a good mood.

i'll have to wait until i can show mine off before anyone else chimes in i guess. eta sunday night ;)

;D wanted you to chime in cause i remember your build/modified drain pipe. is it fairly silent merv?

i thought of using wood but i'm trying to set up a sleek look to the tank. if i have no other choice and just can't build what i want then i'll go with wood and make the fixture use "sliders" so i can actually move it out the way and get into the tank.

i'll be attaching it to the stand. in an apartment so less holes in the wall the better. i'll have a take a look on my way home today. it's only down the block. (literally)

pictures? sku? i'll research though. is it stable enough for holding up a light fixture?

why when i'm not ready awesome frags are available. FML.
