    phil5613, are you running additional powerheads with the overflow (at 90 gallons is there one or two megaflows)? or is the overflow your only source of water movement?

    I was running 3 power heads along with the return pump. it was a single corner megaflow with the Durso type plumbing

    Now if i remove my overflow lines and have both open how do i go about hooking up a return line to my tank? How do i go about securing the hose to the back of the tank? I don't want to drill for my tank is already setup and do not want to break it down. Any suggestions on pump, tubing, and connections would be great!

    i do know of those u-tubes (i believe provided by the same company that makes the scwd)that are pretty sleek looking and just hook over the backside of the tank. all black with a simple flare nozzle return. http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...uct_Code=SQUID-UTUBE&Category_Code=Wavemaking or you could always run the return through a sea swirl http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...oduct_Code=SEASWIRL1&Category_Code=Wavemaking or a wavy sea http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...oduct_Code=Wavysea-K&Category_Code=Wavemaking hth.
