    Will do! I don't have a sump or anthing, it's just going to be hung on my wall and running straight from the display tank.

    Thats what mine will have to do too. Just debating on adding another pump/electircal device to the tank. Trying to slim it down.

    Ya, I was debating the same. But after I started getting hair algae, I decided a pump is WAY better looking than the algae.

    Yeah, I'm cyano and algae free due to my YT and urchins, but was thinking of getting one to have on hand. Seems like it will just help lower maintenance as well. Thx, I can hide that easy. Thinking of buying a bigger pump and just have 1 run everything through the reactor, my UV, and then my HOB fuge. Thx for the pic, easier to picture on mine that way.

    Ya, no problem. I was thinking of doing something similar as far as letting it run both the HOB fuge and reactor. Last night I was having all sorts of difficulties with other aquarium items so I just put it together quick. Once it settles in I might try and set it all up together. My HOB is REALLY picky about the amount of flow before it starts making a lot of noise... so it'll be interesting to see if it works well or not.

    I also justed used a maxijet 400 and it's plenty of flow for my small amount of GFO. I actually had to dial it back some. So it's a pretty small pump overall.
