My new 120

Be Carefull with your returns that low that you have the reverse syphon hole drilled or you can end up sucking out 1/2 your tank water on power loss.
 
Nice, you should have alot of fun with that size tank.

Sam makes a good point. Unless you have check valves on those I would raise them up. But even check valves fail so I would raise them anyway.

Good luck with the tank and keep the pictures coming.
 
Good Looking Tank Kevin....

I too would suggest you raise the returns to guard against a back-siphon draining most of the tank's water.

Looks good Kevin. Keep the progress pics coming.




and, oh yeah, ditto on the returns!
 
The tank has been running for about 4 weeks. It is on a closed loop. The jets don't sipon back on the closed loop and I have the back returns about 1/4 inch below the water line. I think that is that feature I like the most about the closed loop.
I have 2 250 mh 4 t5. A 40 gallon sump.I will have some more pics up soon. :)
