    Design question

    That is a very inefficient way of doing things. If powerheads are not for you, use a closed loop.

    Design question

    Ya. I don't use an overflow box so I can't say what would be the best setup for that. Most regular 90g come with a 1" bulkhead that will do 600 gph....

    Design question

    Complete overkill. I have a 1262 that replaced my 9.5 on my 90g. You can run other things off your return pump, but if all you are doing is running...

    My Own Fish Store Build!

    I grew up in Vegas. Thought Colorado was too cold for this desert rat. 19 years later you could not pay me enough to move back to Vegas. Come on back.

    Old larger skimmer vs. New smaller skimmer

    There is no way a G3 will do a 250g, nor would you want it to. About the biggest span a skimmer can do is twice the capacity. So you have a 75g,...

    Old larger skimmer vs. New smaller skimmer

    ASMs are a dated design and are a bit overrated. Probably would be ok on a 75g... but there are better out these days. 1 SWC 160 cone or cylinder 2...
