    I would be concerned about the "tangs" you mentioned. A 72 is not very big for one tang let alone more than one.

    No not anylonger I lost the harddrive a few months ago that went . Its very simple and straight foward really set the 5 into the ten I use 4 1.5 inch PVC couplings to raise the 5 to the proper height so that the top of the 5 is about a inch lower then the 10 0r 20? that you set it into then on the drain from tank add a tee to feed the fuge and then the rest goes directly into the 10 or 20 sump put a pump like a Mag 9.9 or Mag 1400 what ever you have and pump the water from the sump back to the tank.. Is your 72 reef ready ? It has a overflow inside of it ? if not you'll have to get a HOB overflow to feed water from tank to the sump and fuge then fuge will just drain over into the sump .

    Yeah I have have 3 tangs: Yellow, Blue Hippo, and Vlamigini. They get along great, hang out with each other and everything. Haven't had any problems with them at all.

    The Hippo has been prone to bumps and ich but since I added my neon goby he hasn't had ich or bumps since.
