    Don't have the Bulk head leak.

    I've never heard of a bulkhead leaking. It either leaks right away because the gasket is installed wrong or it never leaks. It's not something your servicing so there is no wear.

    If you check the Mega overflow system the water that enters at the bottom is trapped in a narrow channel and must come to the surface to overflow into the overflow box. There is no need to seal the holes

    Exactly, as long as you install the gasket the right way, you should never have a problem. Luna

    A little, but now too bad.
    It would appear that bottom wins the votes.

    Its like everything else in life, the only true way to know what you like is to own both.

    My new 110 will be Bottom with the Dorso type setup. I am just to chicken to do it myself. In addition, I priced the overflow guard and dorso, and it was cheaper for me to upgrade to the new 110 Megaflow. Since the tank was empty, it made sense.

    \Good luck, keep reef posted..
