    Thanks for the comps guys!

    xroads I have to sit down and figure all the aspects of the system. It is going to be plumbed into my live rock stock tank, both to and frow. I plan to run the out put of the frag tank through my chiller then back to the live rock stock tank.

    As far as flow in side the frag tank, I was thinking two Koralias #3s or #4s and a controller (one on each end).

    Did you take some of those pieces from between exterior blast and paint? There's a whole bunch of thick acrylic laying down over there.

    That is one sweet looking tank. Well thought out and great craftmanship, wouldn't expected less.

    LOL, $250, but I need to build me a large, flat table saw table to work with the bigger sheets.

    Wow, nice Rick!

    I might have to commission you for another project!

    I'd be really interested in a smaller 2' version of one of those.
