    Thanks, I went with the larger one for 2 reasons. First I got a great deal on it, second I use it for my 95 wave African tank also.

    Cool...
    That's why I was thinking a 10g, my son has a 30 FW and it would work great for his change-outs.

    One thing I like in the larger ones is having the gallon marks. Definitely helps with measuring the salt.

    Looks like I'll be doing some changes to my sump room again. Had a few screw ups on my part. Yours is definitely a great reference to what I need to get done. Keep up the great work.

    Thanks, I made my share of mistakes along the way. Just remember put it on paper, measure twice, cut once and don't glue until your positive that's where you want it. Also best things I added were the true union ball valves. It makes swapping stuff out so much easier.

    I am swapping out my Iwaki pump - it does not have enough flow to handle all the Accessories, 40B fuge and 75G grow out tank. I went with a Reeflo Dart.

    I Love my Reeflo also but I did just recently purchase a wavelike DC. Selling mine. New sump coming didn't want to drill it.

    I understand that. The Dart is a beast. Might be a little too much for what I need it for.

    Also got all my return plumbing ran and drain plumbing in place for the new 75.
