    Here is some pics of my future tank. 90 gal with coast to coast overflow. Return is from 2 bulkheads attached to return plumbing. Circulation is a mag9 on the return. and 2 tunze streams rated at 1600 gals per hour. I have the streams set so that one will run fro an hour then the second one will come on about 15 minutes before the first turns off creating a clash in the middle of the tank. 15 minutes later the first will turn off and so on and so on. Both will turn off at nite for a calmming effect on the tank. The mag9 will run 24/7

    Looks great Min,
    Does the overflow extend all the way to the bottom of the Tank? and how wide in the overflow box?
    I've always liked the idea of the back wall overflow.

    Can't wait to see pics with water in it
    Glad your feeling well enough to get back into it

    that overflow goes right to the bottom and the nice thing is,it only 1 in wide.It will handle about 2000 gph thru the overflow and pipes. I still have another 90 up and running. Ive sold off 90 percent of the corals that were in it as I plan on a strickly LPS,SPS, Clam tank.
