    Thought I give a little update on the tanks process. I just got my last piece for my fuge setup. I traded a local reefer some frags for a either 500-800 gph overflow box. I wish i knew what brand/model/gph this was.. if anyone knows please chime in. It does have 2 u-tubes also. Here's some pics with the new 10g fuge, I justed used eggcrates for now, but plan on adding some baffles. The via-aqua 1800 return pump is running great and is very silent. I like this pump more than my mag and I got it for under $20 new from drsfostersmith... ;) skimmer, more LR, and few more leds are next on to do list.

    Don't know on the brand. 1" is supposed to handle 600gph optimal conditions, 1 1/2" is probably 1200 gph. I'm guessing probably 500gph rating.
