    LOL, by the time anyone does that, the 200 will be running ;) I am not too worried about it. The load will be light in the 200 for a good long while.

    Not really. The denitrator has to be pulling water from the tank. It also works off a siphon. The water source has to be above it, and the output below

    jesus I leave for 10 days and this is all I get?!? A whole lotta nothing! Put that damn denitrator to a bucket under the 40 and run a return pump in the bucket back to the tank.... problem solved

    I am most excited over not breaking the tank or the stand not collapsing ;) So far so good! I will have to go get the plumbing supplies tomorrow after work though, since yesterday's issues with my 40 threw a wrench into the plans.
