    What kind of pump are you going to use to pump it up that far? Basement one story down?

    Currently have a Iwaki 70 for the return of water and running my MR-2 Skimmer. The tank will have x2 Tunze 6100 on a MulitController for circulation. The plan on he near future is to switch to a smaller pump just for water return and get a Octopus Extreme Skimmer. The only reason is to reduce some of the energy. The Iwaki 70 pulls 300+ watts. Love the MR-2 Skimmer, but it is not the most energy efficient.

    Ardo- looks like it's going to be stunning! I'd love to read your potential livestock list. BTW, I'm in Lake Orion, so don't be surprised if I beg for a "tank tour"!;D
