Leighton's 300g upgrade (sold my bowfront will now be a 300g upgrade)

Yes, I think that would work nicely.

Maybe cut the hole in the back of the cabinet rather than messing up the front?

 

If it was open under there i would, but its separated so i think that i will keep the front but turn the middle in to a door.

 

Would you mind uploading a picture of the cabinet (inside) to show us? I'm confused about how this cabinet is built.

 

I will second that. The holes in the bottom are not quite right... sure you can put an overflow box in and make it work... but a Bean would be a much better long term solution. Drill the holes and it would be great with a coast to coast... or even just a partial like "exactly" did... that's what I would do too... just put it across the back, but end it and leave room on the ends to run returns to because it get's complicated going through or around a coast to coast.

Just get a square of glass and silicone top and bottom if you wish to seal up the holes. Permanent solution.

 

I think I said 3 glass panes for the overflow in the PM, but you need 4 pieces obviously if you wanna do semi c2c.. anyway, thanks, its good to hear someone else says what you wanna say
Just remember the longer the overflow is, the thinner the water sheet gets. This means quieter as well. Mine is 38" long, the tank is 48".

 

Awesome thanks for that I wasnt sure how to seal the holes. I will take pictures of the stand tomorrow so that you guys can see what im talking about.

Is there any other equipment anyone can think of that i will need big or small?

 

Ya, a MP60 is pretty big. 2 40s will be good... maybe 3x 40s instead of one MP10... Oh, I assume you have the MP10 now?

Do you have a Apex? Apex/WMX/MP40s are an awesome solution.

Skimmers good. dose or reactor, that's up to you. Return pump and you are good to go.

 

I have one MP40 now, and i just bought a RKL Plus controller im thinking dosing will be the way for me to go its easy to adjust and calculate what i need. I have a very large return pump now its a little giant something like 1080gph at 6ft LOL so i think a mag drive 18 would work.

So about 1k and im good to go. Not to bad.

 

That's a big pump.

1K to get this thing up and running? Not bad at all.

 

Id love to see some vid of wave action with THREE Vortechs. Its gonna be really great.
